PS Additional Info: Monday, December 18, 1939 the RAF lost 12 Wellintons on a Reconnaissance mission such a stupid waste of men and materials. RAF 9 Sqn lost 5, RAF 37 Sqn lost 5, RAF 149 Sqn lost 2. On Wednesday, December 27, 1939 the RAF lost two Blenheim's one from 18Sqn and another from 107 Sqn I believe that it was the RAF 107 Sqn aircraft as it was reported crasing off the Island of Wanerooge. Lost Blenheim MkIV RAF OM- L8779 during a Reconnaissance mission. Take-off was from Wattisham and was on a Reconnaissance mission to Wilhelmshaven, Jade and Schilling Roads. The crew where P/O K Laxton Sqt W Anderson and LAC T V Lewis all KIA. On 8 November, 1941, he mistakenly shot down a Finnish De Havilland Dragon ambulance plane, thinking it an SB, and was removed from command. Deceased 22 May, 1967 in Godesberg
