Re: Sght Alfred Wood, OBE ..... details needed
A key phrase was left out in the description of the event in the 1st post. This is how the Manchester Guardian write-up of March 11, 1941, began.
"On a night in November, 1940, an aircraft, while engaged in an operation off the north-west coast of Ireland, developed engine trouble and was compelled to come down on to the sea about 500 yards from the shore."

Re: Sght Alfred Wood, OBE ..... details needed
Thanks gents, this was a great help! I have a photo of a sister aircraft to this one. Sadly trying to find a photo of Alfred is no joy.
