The second picture could be one of 38 lost approximately on 23/6/43.
Discount Wellingtons (5 – its obviously not a geodetic structure;)) = 33.
Take away all those that are presumed to have crashed in the sea (6) = 27.
Anyone got a way of narrowing it down further?

HAMPDEN

Hello Everyone,

The first photo caught my eye. It looks to be Hampden P4324 – QR-P of 61 Squadron. It was forcelanded on Vlieland, Netherlands, August 27/1940, I can’t find any other Squadron codes that match…

Cheers,

Todd
