Fatal Mosquito Crash at Wyton, 4 November 1944

Posted by RAF PATHFINDERS ARCHIVEon September 17, 2019in 128 Squadron,, Mosquitoes, RAF Station Wyton

Although Pathfinder Mosquito crews did not have the same attrition rate as those flying in Lancasters and Halifaxes, their work was still highly dangerous. The light-weight Mosquito aircraft was liable to break up in an accident, as happened on 4 November 1944 when the crew of Edward Wallace and Robert Soutar lost their lives.
