Hallo,

I'm looking after some complementary information (details ORB, Pictures of crew..etc) about the shoting down over Belgium of the Hampden AE-243 of 455 Squadron on 7/8 of November 1941.
Crewmembers were:
Sgt Jenkins Maurice A. (KIA)
Sgt Rawlings Donald R. (KIA)
Sgt McGarvey George A. (KIA)
F/S Morris Keith (KIA)
Thanks

Alexander

What a coincidence......Chorley's Bomber Command Losses says:

AE243  UB-B  Op: Rover Patrol
T/o 180 Swinderby on a Rover Patroltowards Köln.
All are buried in Haverlees War Cemetery, Belgium

A Rover Patrol..............flying a dogleg pattern perhapswink
