Hi Elliott,

Thank you for the welcome and the pictures. The first one looks familiar, I think it’s the one we have. Apparently the chap who took them sent them to the Air Ministry a few years later to pass onto the crew.

Your Whitley project sounds interesting and thank you for the offer, I may well take you up on it in the future if that’s ok.

Hi Beachcomber,

Thank you for the response and the link to the site. I know he used be fly in Whitley 3’s and then 5’s, and remember him saying about the way they seemed to fly nose down.

Whitley v

Hi,

I know this is an old thread but I’ve just come across it after searching for information about my Dad. He was Sgt Hughes wireless operator in the Whitley you have the photos of. My Mother has a copy of the photo that appears in the book ‘The Other Few’ but these pictures are really interesting!

Unfortunately Dad died eight years ago and did not really talk much about the enforced landing near the beach but I remember him talking about his squadron emblem of the owl (No.58) and the years he spent in various POW camps, Dulag (Interrogation/reception), Barth, Sagan, Heydekrug, Konigsberg, and Tischow.

Would it be possible to let me where you found the pictures, or let me know where I can find any further information? Thank you.
