Data derived from many sources. Incorporates 125,000 entries from Aircrew Deaths 39-47 Database. 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.

The aircraft crashed at 2336 hours about 10 miles south west of Grimsby at Binbrook village	PoW No. 39978, Stalag 9C Muhlhausen				One man baled out but was hurt in the fall and was taken to hospital at Rudersdorf. Frau Blun residing in Birkenweg Neu Zittau states that an English officer came that night to her house. He had slight hand and arm injuries and whilst at her house had destroyed either a map or some secret papers. Frau Blun bandaged his wounds and gave him some bread and water. This officer asked her where the Police station was in halting German and on being told went in the opposite direction towards Berlin Chaussess. In Frau Blun’s opinion he had no intention of giving himself up. It is quite likely that this officer in question was Sgt Barraball who was eventually captured and sent to hospital as he was wounded and obviously needed medical treatment.
