Re: Wellington loss details wanted 06/01/44
38 Sqn had been equipped with Wellingtons since Nov 1938 and for much of the war had been based in the Middle East and had been carrying out reconnaissance and anti submarine operations together with a few bombing and mine laying missions too. In Jan 1944 the Sqn was based in Berka III near Benghazi in Libya. At this time the Sqn had Wellington Mk XI and Mk XIII aircraft with ASV radar. Most missions would have been at medium to low level to watch for subs and enemy shipping in the Med around the Balkans.
In Jan 1944 38 Sqn was part of 201 Group RAF Middle East
