Re: 331°Sqd on 27/09/43

Sersjant Arild Hellan was lost in MA305 coded FN-N and his squadron mates thought it was due to lack of oxygen or problem with the oxygen system.

Non-officlal interviews with Johannes Helland, Annaeus Schjödt and Tryggve Woxen stated that during the mission Hellan's aircraft was seen to wave back and forth and when called by the others did not answer. After a while his aircraft just left the formation and dived out of control until it hit the ground.

Arild had passed his training with an average (by his commander of 34SFTS Wing Commander Scragg) and was at the time of his death flying as No 4 in Blue section

PS: Luc, the mission also included 11 further aircraft from 332 Skvadronen (Sq)
