B.F.M. Droog is on a distinguished road
Wellesley loss, 223 Sqdn, 16/06/1940, Eritrea?

Who can tell me more about:

Type: Vickers Wellesley
Serial number: ?, OA-?
Operation: ?
Lost: 16/06/1940
Leading Aircraftman John J. Dixon, RAF 532692, 223 Sqdn., age 22, 16/06/1940, missing - Alamein Memorial
Pilot Officer Michael T.E. Jenkins, RAF 40832, 223 Sqdn., age 23, 16/06/1940, missing - Alamein Memorial

Was 223 Squadron part of 254 Wing?

I guess more regarding this a/c can be found in Gunby/Temple, '
RAF Bomber Losses in the Middle East and Mediterranean Vol I.', which is unfortunately not in my possession.

Regards,

Bart
