Hello,

1944 - Not with that fuselage roundel!

One possibility is a very early Whitley loss:

15/16-10-1939
No.77 Sqn.
Whitley III K8947:KN-Q (not O, as in BCL1)
Op: Nickel.

Failed to return from Frankfurt. Reputedly shot down by A/A near Darmstadt, Germany.

F/L R WILLIAMS +
P/O J TISLEY - POW
Cpl A R GUNTON - POW
LAC R E FLETCHER - POW
Sgt J W LAMBERT - POW

See: BCL1 (rev.ed.)/83

Also take a look at page 4 of 583, of the above Harrington Museum site!

Could well be other "Q's", which took its place.

Col.
