Re: identify Wellington Bomber Holland

Hello,

Possibility:

Code looks like OT or QT, indicating No.142 Squadron. Looks like port propellor feathered, or not turning, when crash-landed.

12/13 August, 1941
No.142 Sqn.
Wellington II W5433:QT-?
Op: Berlin.

Took off 2046 Binbrook. Last heard on w/t indicating the port engine had failed and the Wellington was being abandoned.

F/L A D Gosman - PoW
F/O J R Gibbon - PoW
F/L R McD Durham - PoW
Sgt L Frith - PoW
Sgt K S Holman - PoW
Sgt J Jackson RNZAF - PoW
