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'

1944-12-06HalifaxIIIMZ450DY:BRAF Pocklington16:22OsnabruckThe crew released their bomb load onto glow over the target area from 20,000 feet at 19.50hrs but owing to thick cloud could not see the target or any target markers. During the flight the altimeter failed. Having no altimeter to gauge his height the pilot misjudged the height of the aircraft on the approach to land at Pocklington and undershot. The aircraft initially collided with an object, believed to have been a tree, which damaged the starboard wing, flaps and also the H2S blister. The pilot managed to ensure the aircraft remained airborne and was ordered to divert to make a landing at Carnaby where a normal landing was made at 23.02hrs. (Yorkshire accidents - December 1944)SafeHalifax III MZ450, DY:B was flown by Flt Lt. Brian Grenville Carr DFC 117673 RAFVR on the 5th/6th December 1944 on a mission to Soest and returned without problems. Halifax III MZ450, DY:B was flown by Flt Lt. Wilfred Harry Russell on the 6th/7th December 1944 on a mission to Osnabruck. So Chorley is correct in respect of the crew for Halifax III MZ450, DY:B but incorrect on the date and the subsequent fate of the aircraft
