Re: Catalina - W8418 - lost 23 Dec 1941 - crew

Hello Leendert,
For what it's worth, Ross McNeill's "RAF Coastal Command Losses " vol 1 just has the 10 crew name's followed by this comment.
Quote -
"Take off time: 02.40."
Followed by
"A float dug in during a heavy landing at 20.00 hrs on return from patrol and the Catalina sank at Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire. F/O.Havlicek,a Canadian, and his crew are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial ".

02.40 till 20.00 hrs quite a long flight, would this be a normal patrol flight time I wonder ?
