Re: English crew on Oléron Island
GILLES,
The closest I came to is the register of a Bristol Beaufort Mark I, coded OA*T, serial AW202 that for some reasons came down on the 5th November 1941, at St-Trojan-les-Bains. It took-off at 03:39hs from St. Eval; so it may have crashed (or suffered some kind of mechanical problem), or was shot down (by Flak ?) early in the morning...2 KIA and 2 POW from the crew....Am not sure if from the 2 POW one or two escaped later....you will need to check further.
Information do comes from Ross McNeill's Coastal Command Losses of the Second World War, volume 1 (am already sparing for the other volumes).
Would you have a date or year? That would narrow down the search quite a lot...or a name?
Salutations ŕ toi et aux tiens.
Adriano
