The RAF had 15 Sqns of Warwicks so perhaps a trawl through the Sqn histories might add more light. No. 38; No. 167; No. 179; No. 251; No. 269; No. 275; No. 276; No. 277; No. 278; No. 279; No. 280; No. 281; No. 282; No. 283; No. 284; No. 292; No. 293; No. 294; No. 353; No. 520; No. 525 and No. 621. Not in Chorleys and haven't found any serial numbers and fates on Google.

I assume it took off from North Weald, which is not far from the Essex Coast perhaps it was in transit, delivery flight possibly, it is an oddity for the area for sure
