Re: Wellington combat 1/2 August 1940

Hi Brian,

According to the appendices of 3 Group ORB it concerned a Wellington of 99 Squadron captained by Sgt Swatton. A twin engined a/c with twin rudders was shot down in flames by the rear gunner 4 miles North of The Hague.

The squadron ORB doesn't mention above incident, only that Sgt Watton was flying Wellington L7802.

Regards,
Hans
