[78 Sqn History]

Brian

having had a look through BCL by Chorley there is a Whitley V Z6728 from 138 Sqn listed as having come down in the sea whilst on SOE operations. The Pilot is Sgt D Gold, full crew list is as follows:

Sgt D Gold
Sgt EE Jones
FSgt GEA Baxter
Sgt FW Smith
Sgt A Brittain
PO DO Weeks
WCdr JED Benham

alll were killed and Chorley states that the loss card shows a Sgt Bolt but that he has been unable to identify this man. Perhaps he was the agent that was being dropped.
