Re: Calling Beaufort experts!
Hello Brian,
My hard cover copy has the story of "Barry" from page 87.
I will seek out my copy of The Beaufort File and see if there is any reference in there.

This could be the a/c, but story a little different, sadly.
From CCL vol 1
22 Sqn
5th June 1940
Beaufort I
L9797
"OA-F"
While over Ashington Northumberland, early in the morning of the 6th, the Beaufort collided with a barrage balloon cable when avoiding search lights. Subsequently an engine failed and the crew baled out. The a/c crashed into a terrace house killing the three residents.Two crew were also killed.
