Hi,

Many thanks

Hi Peter,

From: Coastal Command Losses 1939-1941 by Ros McNeill

86 Sqdn
Beaufort I
AW207
BX-H
P/O D. Page 64320 POW
F/O J. Mc. Paxton 81063 POW
Sgt J. B. Green 978471 POW
Sgt J. McCann 978471 POW
Gardening
North Coates
16.15 hrs
Took off for a mining operation in the Friese gat between Ameland and Schiermonnikoog. On the run in for the mine drop the Beaufort was hit by Flak and P/O Page altered course for Schiermonnikoog. The aircraft just missed crashing into the farm of De Kooi, but came to earth at 18.15 hrs in a meadow just beyond. Wreckage was spread over an 80 metre area with one wing ripped off, both engines lost from their mountings and the mine thrown out but failing to explode. The crew were mostly uninjured with only Sgt McCann suffering a broken collar bone. The crew set fite to the aircraft before capture.

86 Sqdn
Beaufort I
AW192
BX-T
P/O D. R. J. Harper 61307 MIA
Sgt A. P. McGregor 917519 MIA
Sgt A. N. Kennedy 971186 KIA
Sgt W. T. Large 1051844 KIA
Shot down near Schiermonnikoog, Holland. Both P/O harper and Sgt McGregor are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial while Sgt Large washed ashore on the 26th December 1941 at beach pole 9 and rests locally in Vredenhof Cemetery on Schiermonnikoog and Sgt Kennedy in Mount Vernon Roman Catholic Cemetery, Edinburgh

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Hans Nauta
