Loss of Wellington W5659, 221 Squadron RAF

[Willywombat]

Hello to all!

This is my first post here and I'm making it in the hope that someone might be able to help me with a project researching them men on my old school war memorial (ten years plus, so far... and still going!)

I am presently looking at the loss of the above aircraft on 22/06/41, whilst providing air cover for Convoy OB 337 out of Liverpool. Unfortunately its the all-too-familiar story of nothing being heard from the aircraft after take-off at 1111 hours that day, and searches throughout the next day finding nothing.

One possibility suggested by the Squadron history is that it was shot down by a Condor. If this were the case, I am thinking perhaps an aircraft from KG40?

Does anyone know of a database of claims made by KG40 (or any other likely Luftwaffe unit) that I could check?

Any pointers much appreciated!

Thanks,

Bob.
