Re: 2. Batterie Marine flak-abt 246
Hi Nick and Stig,
The correct serial is LN457 and on page 327 of Bomber Command Losses 1943 by Chorley. I've checked the Aircraft Loss Card, but there are no clues on that regarding the cause of the loss. The briefed route was 53.50N, 04.00E - 52.40N, 04.20E - Hannover - 52.10N, 09.45E - 53.50N, 04.00E - base Technically it could have been in the vicinity of the Isle of Schiermonnikoog. It's difficult to tie up the claim with either LN457 or LW224 as there is another candidate: Halifax LK635 of 428 Squadron. As none of the crew members has a known grave this one may have come down in sea too, also in an inner sea like the Waddenzee South of Schiermonnikoog... Regards, Hans
