The above were lost on 12/06/42 when Whitley BD210 J/58 Squadron failed to return from an anti-submarine patrol over the Bay of Biscay

 

Spidge are you asking wandering travellers to go get your Aussies for you? If so can I add a plea for a copy of one for the NZ one in Bilbao (Sgt T L Boland) to be sent to Glen@75Sqn for his delectation.
