Wellington ditching - Berlin op info sought

[BC]

Hi all,

Not a lot to go on, but I'm trying to ID a Wellington which ditched after a night-fighter attack on the way home from Berlin. The incident is the last account in the late Chaz Bowyer's "Wellington At War" (Ian Allen 1982). In his account, the 2nd pilot, named Tom Browne (T A Browne BEM, in the acknowledgements) describes how it was his first sortie, the pilot being a "Scouser" F/Sgt with the DFM. Browne states 14 aircraft from their squadron flew the operation that night.
The port engine had to be feathered through lack of oil and the other began to overheat, the aircraft being forced to ditch. The crew were all able to board their dinghy, Browne having been knocked unconscious in the crash, was hauled out of the water by the other crew. An "ASR speedboat" picked them up and brought them ashore, where upon arrival in hospital, Browne was told he had lost his left eye. The only other 'clue' in the account is the mention that the ASR craft was searching for the crew of another Wellington that had ditched - without success.

I fully appreciate there are few clues here, but I feel sure the gen men here can don their detective caps and hopefully nail this one for us.

TIA,

BC
