Re: 428 Wellington(s) lost 8/9 April 1943 Duisburg ?

Sgt. Bertrand was rear gunner in a 428 Squadron Wellington flown by Sgt. L. Williamson. The rear turret was blown off by flak, the rest of the crew returned safely with the severely damaged aircraft to West Malling.

Edit: found the serial number with a bit of digging. HE239, "NA*Y" or "NA*L", reported with both codes. This aircraft was repaired, and back on operations by late May 1943.
