Re: Whitley :03/06/43
The only Whitley lost on 3 Jun 43 from what I can see was BD414/J (Sgt D F Bavin) (which would be returning from its patrol after 8 hours?)

Re: Whitley :03/06/43
There is a good chance that the BD 414 is the victim of 8/JG2
The norm of patrols in Whitley V was 8 to 10 hours,it was very common. Thanks guys Michel

Re: Whitley :03/06/43
According to AIR 14/1195 Final reports on Bomber Command operations day (which includes anti-submarine patrols of 91 Group) the cause of the loss was Engine failure. No enemy Aircraft was reported seen by Whitleys on patrol this date.
