Sunderland shot down on 15th February 1944
On the 15th February 1944, Sunderland code-M flown by F/O Bunce (RAAF) was shot down on the Bay of Biscay by Ju 88 C from ZG 1.
I would like to obtain, if possible: 1- the serial number of this aircraft 2- The names of the crew flying with F/O Bunce that day. Thanks in advance Adriano Baumgartner

Re: Sunderland shot down on 15th February 1944
The aircraft that Bunce was flying was Sunderland ML740 (M/461) of 461 squadron, but that was shotdown on 23 March 1944.
Five crew were killed and the other seven rescued. There is a picture od the surviving crew being rescued a couple of days later: http://cas.awm.gov.au/photograph/128308
