58 Sqn Whitley
Hi guys, I'm currently researching an incident involving my Great-Uncle Leonard Adlam, which took place on 21st October 1940, when his Whitley of No. 58 Sqn crashed into the Yorkshire Moors after a mission across the Channel.
Some brief infomation can be seen here - http://www.yorkshire-aircraft.co.uk/.../40/t4171.html I'm trying to put together an article regarding this incident for a future project I'm working on and so I'm looking for all the information I can get. If anyone else has any further information or knows of any sources that might be able to help me with this then I'd really appreciate the help. Any photos of a of 58 Sqn Whitley would be great too. I'm also wondering how I would view 58 Sqn's ORB? The exact reason the Whitley crashed is uncertain because the official card says "out of petrol" but most sources believe Hptm Karl Hulshoff of 3./NJG2 - Ju 88 C, shot it down on an intruder mission, but he claimed it as a "Hereford" which is odd. Is there a way to find out the exact losses of bomber command that day to try and piece it all together? Apologies for all the questions, I just thought to ask in case someone can help. Best, Chris |
