Armstrong Withworth Whitley Mk.V losss on 3-4 Sept 1943

Hello, I'm looking for additional information relating to the loss of Armstrong Withworth Whitley MkV BD368 on 3-4 September 1943. The whole crew became POW. Is it known where they landed and if they parachuted or made an emergency landing?

I've got trouble in finding OTU 24 ORBs etc on National archive website.

/Mike

The POW questionaires for four of th emen say place of capture is Le Harve and one man added the word Channel

i.e.

Le Harve (Channel)

I take that to mean they came down in the sea.
