157 Sqn Mosquito loss on 15/16 Sep 44
Seeking information on the loss of a night fighter Mosquito of 157 Squadron out of RAF Swannington on the night of 15/16 September 1944. The crew were Sqn Ldr Chisholm (pilot) and Flt Lt Wilde (navigator). The aircraft was coded RS-W and reportedly departed Swannington at 23:50hrs. The mission was high level bomber support (HLBS) in the Kiel area.
The 157 Sqn Operations Record Book for that night shows that crews reported heavy flak both over Keil and the Heligoland Light areas. The squadron mounted a search for dinghies the next day but with no result. It is believed that there were no emergency RT transmissions and nothing further is known about the fate of this aircraft and crew. Can anyone add any further information about this loss?
