Ok, checked the missions for 10/11 and 11/11 1942. Only missions flown were mine laying missions, both to the Frisian islands. This bomber was most likely part of this force. However, this pilot must have been skilled as he must have evaded his German attackers as no planes were lost these nights! Two planes later crashed in England, however.

Now to find out which sqns these planes belonged to and maybe the ORB's can shed some lights on what happened and what crew went through this ordeal. This is an intensive search though, which might even require a visit to the National Archives in London, if we can't find a sqn historian.....

I guess from the German side we won't get much help as they didn't claim a British bomber for the 11th... Erich, any ideas? I guess the LW boys did not report these chases when they didn't result in a shoot down?
