Re: Albemarle V1641 TT - 04 March 1944

Hi Mark,

Though Without Anger by Colin Cummings has this as:

03/03/44
V1641
Albemarle
No.570 Sqn

F/O C J Elmer
F/O J H Hood
F/O T J Adamson
Sgt E J Atkinson
Sgt J Davies

The aircraft was one of a mixed tasking of Albemarles and Stirlings engaged in SOE work but it failed to return.

I would visit The National Archives at Kew to view the No.570 Sqn Operational Record Book. This is the war diary for the unit and should give some more on the tasking of the aircraft as well as details of previous operational flights by the airman you are interested in.

Also at Kew are the surviving SOE files so these might also give more on the drop zones and groups.

Regards
Ross
