Wellington I L7846. Sergeant C T Fletcher, Flight Sergeant R Atkin, Sergeant K Naylor, Sergeant D Hinde, Sergeant J L Rowe, Sergeant J Hood: missing believed killed; aircraft missing en route to Benghazi, Libya, 37 Squadron, 23 June 1941. 37 Sqdn’s ORB (TNA AIR27-389-12) records ‘Sgt Fletcher was detailed to attack shipping in the harbor at Benghazi. He failed to return from this operation. However, an SOS was picked up by P/O Galbraith (which) read “crashed when forced landing. All ok.” In view of this message … there is reason to hope the entire crew may be prisoners of war.’ A forlorn hope as it transpired.
