Thanks for your replies Gents, I am afraid I do not have the piece in front of me but will ask my pal in the Netherlands what side the red flange is on. K

Thank you Gents. I will look up the Returning POW Questionnaire for SEERY when I next go to the NA. Thank you Jeff.
Thank you as well James. I have been told about another book that has Docherty in it, ‘249 Squadron at War’. I would really appreciate copy’s of anything you have if it is not too much trouble.

Thank you Ross and Andy. Incidentally Andy I sent you a PM a few days ago but it bounced back because your in box is too full.
How are the reports filed? By date or name of crew/capture location?
Do the reports have i/d photos of the Luftwaffe POWs?
Also With regard to the interrogation reports do you know of any documents dealing with how the information obtained was analysed and disseminated? Sorry about all the questions, you will be thinking why doesn’t the silly B.. go and look but I live in Cornwall so time is tight when I go to the NA! Many thanks again. K

Thank you everyone. Absolutely fantastic. The particular Bomber Squadron I have an interest in, number 166, carried out a lot of mining operations both in Wellingtons and in Lancasters and lost quite a few crews in the process. I am familiar with the AIR27 files but not much else (and that was in the 1980’s!) and it is the wider ‘themes’ that I am looking at rather than individual squadrons at the moment. I am really grateful for your help. If you think of anything else please post again!

Thanks, Andy. I live in Cornwall now so my grip on Kentish geography has slipped somewhat but it would be the M26 not the M25. I will find the piece and upload a photo of it. Perhaps you can tell me what part of the plane it might have come from.

You are right Ross but sadly I was on a ‘frolic’ from my usual area of research that takes up most of my spare time! Im going to cheat and post the question on a Naval forum!
Thank you to everyone. K

Thank you. I must have missed one of the Graves, Hille ( I was on a flying visit in my lunch break!). Ross do you know how the Kriegsmarine men were lost?

Thanks Gents it was a log shot…I just hoped someone might say ‘Oh yes I know who that is’! Thanks for the info on the 166 crew. Technically my 166 friend wasn’t an evader. He was actually captured by the Germans but escaped a short time later thanks to some local Gendarmes.

Hello Ian. Thank you for your quick reply. The link had the details I was looking for but I would really like to get a good copy of the photo. The contributor is cited as Simon Muggleton 2010. I dont suppose you know of him do you?
Thanks again, B.

Hi Peter,thanks for your reply.Am I right in saying that the sprocket would be located not within the engine (I have NO idea about these things!).Any ideas on the other pieces?
