Harry Moyles ‘Hampden Files’ has a great deal of reports on various incidents. I have yet to find Sgt Bissett amongst them. Mr Moyle devotes a foolscap page and a half (Chap 5f Loss of control – Stabilized Yaw) which may explain (as intimidated above) Sgt Bissett’s total lack of confidence in the aircraft returning to controlled flight having seen many of his peers perish in what was then undetermined circumstances.

For those with interest in the Chorley extravaganza, Vol 1 1939-40 2nd edition includes prewar losses July 1936-September 1939. 14/15 Sep 1940 does not include Sgt Bissett as it only records aircraft losses with the subsequent human casualties. It is still a comprehensive work of some 371 pages. ISBN 978-1-906537-40-1. ABE books once again did a good deal. RRP £20.00p.

P2082 was lost on 06 November 1940 whilst minelaying in Kaiser Wilhelm Canal. The 61 Sqn crew are all buried in Kiel War Cemetery.
