Re: Wellington crashed Wilhelmshaven
I have R1608 as crashed in Lake Dobersdorf near Kiel at 02.25 hrs on 25th June 1941, but have not been able to find a matching German (Flak) claim. Do you perhaps? Cheers, Theo

Re: Wellington crashed Wilhelmshaven
Hello,
I overlooked R1802 in my earlier post. So - R1802 311 Sqdn "KX - P" SOS at 2053 hrs after which further messages received indicated the a/c was loseing height and speed. The last signal intercepted reported a sea landing was imminent and its position was given as 5317N, 0307E. Despite a search no trace of a/c or crew was found. Alex |
