Wow, talking about getting the short end of the stick. Last mission, and they get nailed.

| Battle damaged aircraft Wow - some excellent (new) pictures there guys ! Have been researching BD incident pictures for a few months now. Saw your site on TOCH and joined on the strength of this thread. A couple to keep the thread going: Don't think either have been featured before. I have some info on the Wimpy (Wellington) but not on the B-25, so any feedback from forum readers would be great. Looking forward to contributing as and when... Regards, BC |

| Sorry pbfoot, but the Wellington is HE158 NA-L of 428 Sqn which had a flak shell explode in the tail over Duisburg on 8/9 April 1943. The tough old Wimpy flew on with the undercarriage and bomb-doors down through loss of hydraulics. The N was sent back to see why the TG did not respond on the R/T and found the turret blown off, plus half the rudder and several yards of fabric skinning ripped away. With "minimal control", the pilot Sgt L F Williamson, RCAF returned safely to base at Dalton, Yorks., and landed. He was subsequently awarded the CGM for his actions. TG Sgt L Bertrand is buried in the Reichswald Forest Cemetery. I'd be interested in that 419 Sqn aircraft you mention, though. BC |

| That FW-190 looks interesting Piet. It has Allied Markings but it has a swastika on the tail. A captured aircraft or possibly an infiltrator? Great photos BTW.
