Re: Crash "Srgt. Surridge" 15 August 1940
The aircraft was indeed a Whitley and from 51 Sqn. It was returning from a mission to Bordeaux. According to Air Britain the aircraft crashed at Langley Bucks not too far from West Drayton.
The crew were all killed and included PO SP Swenson Sgt Dawson Sgt Obrien Sgt Tait Sgt Stubberfield I wonder if the ORB report meant to say Stubberfield, as names were occasionally recorded incorrectly - often the unusual names are the ones people forget once they get back to writing up the ORB. I've even seen it for Sqn numbers where the numbers are transposed which does half confuse the issue!
