Bomber loss over Emden
Gents,
Once again hoping someone can put a name to a claim on June 20/21st raid on Emden. A 218 Sqdn Short Sirling HA-Q W7530 was shot down at Wognum, 5 kms NNW of Noorn, Holland at around 01.50hrs. The pilot was the squadrons A Flight Commander S/Ldr Ashworth DFC. Can anyone put a claim against this loss and confirm any details. Thank you Steve

Hello Steve,
Refering again to the NJWD, the following is written: 218 squadron Stirling W7530 Lt Johannes Werth (1st abschusse) of 7./NJG2 4km NW Wognum, NW Hoorn (notice spelling, ie not Noorn) at 02.00 Regards Max

Re: Bomber loss over Emden
Max,
Thank you again. I think I need to get both volumns, too late for Christmas and the wife just brought me another Border Terrier, so I think washing up and ironing for the next few months is on the cards  All the very best from a rather chilly Hampshire. Steve
