Re: 748797 Sgt H J D Smiles 214 Sqn
Hi Chris
I've logged all of 214 Sqn's wartime ops and have him noted as flying 31 ops: 14 as co-pilot to Sgt N P Kerr between 27/9 and 26/11/1940, then 17 as pilot between 16/12/1940 and 8/4/1941. On these ops I only see him as crashing on one occasion: 2 mins after taking off for an op against the Tirpitz at Wilhelmshaven on 29-30/1/1941. The port engine cut and the a/c (Wellington 1c, T2841 coded BU-K) caught fire in the air and crashed just off the airfield (Stradishall). The other crashes might therefore have been on non-operational flights? Hope this helps. Ian
