Op: Bremen, RAF Bircham Newton, Take Off 23:27 hrs

Hit a hut on take off and crashed into Brancaster Bay 23 minutes after take off. The crew abandoned in their dinghy close to shore.

Kev, to meet the numbers Coastal Command supplied Whitley, Hudson and Wellingtons to augment Bomber Command 1000 bomber raids. Donna Hook and Bircham Newton were used as a bombing up base and forward operating point to join up with the raid routes.
