Re: Air 81/13113 file loss Wellington X3425 in Belgium april 2 1942.
The 57 Sqn target was railways around Hanau-Lohr
Hull was a direction finding station (DF Station)
WL4656 is a co-ordinate and appears to be near Wittlich
Given the a/c was heading home from Hanau area and avoiding the Ruhr, this seems to be on track. It crashed near St Truiden, which again fits the story
NS4030 I cannot place, the co-ordinates are way off the map. Are you sure about the two letters?
Not sure what the two references to VM in the string refers to but I think it is Vector Matching, which is a way of narrowing down where a radio signal is coming from
