Re: Whitley Bomber loss 23/24 August 1940

Read the last entries in the Form 541 for 220 Sqn 27/09/40

Three men in dinghy.

Later ships approach

One man went over the side, no sign of life

Two men taken aboard, one fair, one very ill.

Problem solved Sgt Riley was the one that survived

Three and a half days in an open dinghy in the North Sea would do for most of us
