Loss ex RAF Albemarle P1645 during delivery flight to Soviet Union 27.4.1943

Dear all,

On 27 April 1943, ex RAF Albemarle P1645 was on its delivery flight to the Soviet Union (from Scotland to Moscow Vuknovo) when it was shot down by a German fighter. All of the crew (commander 1st Lieutenant F.F. Ilchenko) were killed.

Can anybody tell me from which airfield the Albemarle took off, and what was the time of take-off and the planned flight route?

Cheers and thanks for any info,

Theo
