Liberator AL519 S/120 crew list
Hi all.
On 3 November 1942 Liberator AL519 S/120 Squadron crashed on Dunbrock Mountain, Northern Ireland shortly after taking off from Ballykelly during a night exercise, the pilot, W/O. N W. Robins was killed. I can find no mention of this accident in the 120 Squadron ORB. Could someone please supply me with the full crew list for this aircraft and if possible details of the crash. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Peter |

Peter,
From unconfirmed source: Pilot's attention might have been distracted because of difficulty in retracting the undercarriage. One more name on file being injured: Sgt (2nd Pilot) H.W. SMITH - 1076174. Regards, Henk. |
