Re: Identify Whitley bomber 51 squadron
Hello Col and Michel,

I have found another Flak claim for a 51 Sqn Whitley MH-P, which appears to be the replacement aircraft for the one that Col mentioned (thanks for the pointer Col!):

11-12 August 1940

-51 Sqn Whitley P4983: severely shot up by heavy Flak of M. Flak Abt. 252 battery Hohemey and force-landed on Jever airfied at 05.52 hrs.

I think this fits the bill -in Michel's photo one can see airfield buildings in the background.

Looking forward to receiving your PM Michel!

Cheers, Theo
