Re: Wellington Z8647
Hello PeteT
Lost on the night of 2 July 42, according to the 104 Sqn ORB Form 500 section ( the Form 501 does not include aircraft lost on operations therefore Ellis and the aircraft are not listed there, nor does it bother mentioning the names of the crews at all). Hence our entry in page 663 of Med Air War Vol 2, albeit the entry runs on from the end of the previous entry.- 104 Sqn Wellington II Z8647 ‘W’ took off from Abu Sueir to attack MT. Lost one engine to Flak and crash-landed in desert; Flt Lt D.Ellis and five walked for three days but captured just short of Allied lines and PoWs
