Re: Blenheim crew member interned in Belgium, 30 April 1940.
Hello Martin,
30 April 1940
Carrying out a night time reconnaissance sortie one of the squadron’s aircraft and crews was lost when it had to force land near Brussels in Belgium where the crew were interned
Blenheim Mk.IV serial L8875
Pilot – Sgt AWS Thomas Interned
Obs – SGT JJF Talbot Interned
WOp/AG – LAC RG StJames-Smith Interned
The records of No. 57 Squadron’s specific sorties were lost during the evacuation of France, material has been substituted from records of losses, post-war interviews with former members and the flying logbooks of aircrew of the squadron.
HTH,
Ed
