Re: 61Sq Raid on Brest 1 april 41

Hi jerry,

According to Chroley's Bomber Command Losses vol 2 there were three losses on 1 April. Two were training sorties involving 50 and 311 Squadrons, while the other was 144 Squadron as mentioned by Amrit1.

The only 61 Squadron loses either side of that date were 23-24 March when X3005 was lost returning from an operation to Keil. The aircraft was hit by flak and abandoned over Driffield.

The other loss was on 8-9 April when AD827 was lost on an op to Keil.

Alex
