Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.



Our hosting service imposes a 4-character search minimum for database tables. We have modified our databases to support 3-character name searches.

Add 'x' to 3-character name: e.g. to search for 'coe' put 'coex' in search box, for 'fox' put 'foxx'.

If you need help, EMAIL us with name and database to search and we will perform the search manually for you.
To search on squadron, append 'Sqn'. Examples: '72Sqn' or '416Sqn'

PAFTechnical Training CommandNo.4 Air Gunners School1942-08-18BothaW5155RAF MorpethBoulmerCollided with the towing cable of Lysander T1506 in the Boulmer area and crashed into sea NE of the life boat station - 05.30h. Mid-air collision with Westland Lysander T1506 over Boulmer, whilst on a training flight. Location : United Kingdom. RNLI reports for W5155 states that the four fishing boats that responded found an empty rubber dinghy, a dead body and a severely injured man who died. So one crew man died after being recovered. I have his name as Sgt B Carter from the Form 1180. Of the Lysander crew, Sgt. Carter (Pilot) and 1068412 AC Dickinson (Towed Target Operator) were injured.

August 18th 1942 Botha aircraft W5155 and Lysander T.1506 collided in the air. Botha crashed into the seas – Lysander burnt out. Of the Botha crew, 784064 Sgt. Myszkowski (Pilot) and 1385647 LAC Emberson (u/t AG) were killed. 13714630 LAC Elliott, 1394166 A C Curtis and 1339452 AC Whiting missing, believed killed. Salvage authorities report that recovery of the aircraft has been found impossible and the bodies are presumed to be still on board. Of the Lysander crew, Sgt. Carter (Pilot) and 1068412 AC Dickinson (Towed Target Operator) were injured. A court of Enquiry has been held in connection with this accident. First fatal accident occurred over the sea near Amble range. One Botha crashed into the sea – no survivors. The Lysander crashed on land and the Towed Target Operator received minor burns in rescuing the pilot from the aircraft. From Botha Aircraft 784064 Sgt Myszkowski, Z.
