An anomaly on the Form 540 and 541 T-Tommy Z5753 although presumed missing on 19 October with Barber, Gillam and Shaw crashing onto the foreshore at Lerwick the Squadron records also has Z5753 listed as being flown of 20 December 1941 when W/C Woodruff shot down a Junkers 88.

Going through the ORB it would appear that the Blenheim could be Z6244 (one of the eight 'B' Flight aircraft at Sumburgh) which does not reappear on Form 540 after 13 October 1941 or it could still be Z5753

Graham Warners Book and Notes has it as Z5753.

Crew lost:

Irvine Barber RCAF
Ernest Gillam RAF
J. Shaw RAF ?

Any help appreciated
