Re: Bailing out of a Short Sunderland?
Hi Larry,
From my RAF Coastal Command Losses: 09/04/1940 L2167 Took off to examine the Oslo area. Attacked by two Me110s of I/ZG76 over Fornebu at about 15:00 hrs and caught fire over Holsfjorden before finally exploding over Maidalen, Norway. The Sunderland was claimed by Oblt Hansen in Me110 M8+JH but Lt H Lent was also involved. Sgt George survived being blown out of the aircraft at 3,000 feet without a parachute and fell into deep snow. The remaining crewmen including Sgt Carpenter, an Australian from Sydney, and P/O Le Maistre, a Canadian from Winnipeg, rest in Sylling Churchyard, Norway. Ross

Re: Bailing out of a Short Sunderland?
Not as such a baling out but a forced exit? Ulrich Hansen (St Kap) & Helmut Lent were 1/ZG 76 by the way
