Hampden P4323 Information

Type Hampden Serial Number P4323 Squadron 106 X1D ZN-? Operation Gardening Date 1 23rd February 1942 Date 2 24th February 1942
Further Information

"Serial Range P4285 - P4324. 40 HP52 Hampden Mk.B.1. Part of a batch of 120 Hampden B.1. P4285-P4324; P4335-P4384; P4389- P4418, of which:- P4304; P4306; P4312; P4315; P4347; P4369; P4373; P4395; P4401; P4418 were converted to Hampden TB (Torpedo Bomber). P4335 was the first Hampden fitted with balloon cutters. Delivered by The English Electric Co.(Preston) between Feb40 and Aug40. After the 'L' and 'N' serial numbers, which were mainly allocated before the outbreak of hostilities, serial numbers do not run continuously as small groups of numbers were deliberately omitted. The object of this subterfuge was to confuse the enemy in regard to the actual number of aircraft being built. Initially issued to No.16 OTU before transferring to No.106 Sqdn. Airborne 0200 24Feb42 from Coningsby on a mining operation in the Eglantine region. Hit by KriegsMarine Flak and crashed in the Heligoland Bight. All are buried in Kiel war Cemetery. Sgt S.A.Kent KIA Sgt R.S.Anderson KIA Sgt A.W.Blake KIA Sgt S.R.McLeod KIA "

Thanks Ed, for culling out yet another fine selection of photos. I especially enjoyed the Ju 180 (actually Ju 160) photo. Also the last photo with the two Ar 96's.
