Mystery Crash Reported at 04.30 hrs 15 August 1940 (missing from Boscombe Down)
Hello All
I am interested in a mystery crash recorded by No.3 Group Winchester Observer Corps Centre that was reported at 04.30 hours 15th August 1940. The Winchester Observer Centre Signal Log states that the crash reported at 04.30 hours 15.8.1940 was the missing aircraft from Boscombe Down. The plane [Whitley P5044] which crashed into the balloon barrage at Eastleigh had already been reported. However, the Signal Log, does not say whether the crash reported at 04.30 hrs is a Fighter, returning Bomber or other aircraft. Despite 10 years collecting copies of all the Bomber Command Stations ORBs, Bomber Squadrons ORBs, Appendices, other files, Forms E, the Raid Forms and numerous Flying Accident Card copies for the 14/15 August 1940 night, the crash reported in at 04.30 hrs heading for Boscombe Down remains a mystery. Has anyone compiled a comprehensive list of crashes / crash landings for central Southern England / Hants area please? Regards Mark Last edited by Observer1940; 18th December 2011 at 20:13.
