83 | 04/04/45 | Meresburg | BK601 (F/O Wood & crew) was hit by moderate to light flak in the target area. Shrapnel pierced the de-icing tank causing fire to break out which destroyed several electrical circuits, including the ASI heating. The pilot received slight burns to his hands and F/S Hooper, air bomber, received slight burns to the face. The F/E, Sgt Williamson, was reported as having fallen through the lower turret hatch – fortunately with his harness and parachute on . . . Their bomb load was jettisoned from 19,000ft at 51° 51’ N 11° 03’ E at 22.30hrs. On return to England, an emergency landing was carried out at RAF Manston at 02.02hrs.The aircraft sustained Category AC / A3 damage (AIR 14:3463, Form 78), ie., “repair is beyond the unit capacity”. Gerry Newey records in his diary, after viewing the fire damage on the 6th of April, that “all fuselage forward of the wing will have to be renewed”. 12 April 45 – repaired by No. 54 Maintenance Unit (ROS = Repairable On Site) |
