Den 13. august 1944 omkring kl. 02.00 nødlandede HAL MZ349 i Nordsøen på tilbagevejen fra et bombetogt til Brunswick (Braunschweig her).
Det brændte på grund af et angreb fra tysk side. (Kilde: Lost Bombers)

Sergeant (Flight Engineer) Jack Gregory, 23 år, var søn af Jack og Ada Gregory, Brierfield, Nelson, Lancashire, United Kingdom.
Hnn blev begravet på Kiel War Cemetery, 4 E. 8 i Tyskland.

Mange flere end de 152 fly nævnt i www.airmen.dk styrtede i Nordsøen, men dette medtages i www.airmen.dk fordi F/O Edmond T. Tunstall fra dette fly senere
blev skyllet i land på Fanø (der er her). Fra august 1944 var det en stående tysk ordre, at omkomne flyvere skulle begraves "på stedet". Dette skete også med
E. T. Tunstall - og efter krigen var det umuligt at finde liget af ham igen! Han har ingen kendt grav. Se mere på siden om F/O E. T. Tunstall.

F/O A. A. A. Bradley har ingen kendt grav. Sgt J. Gregory, Flight Engineer blev fundet ilanddrevet den 4. september 1944, og han blev begravet i Tyskland.
4 flyvere blev krigsfanger og blev sendt til Tyske krigsfangelejre. Sgt E. T. Boyes og Sgt I. P. Cundall blev sendt til  Stalag Luft 7 Luckenwalde, mens F/Lt A. Hannay
og F/O R. A. McDonald blev sendt til Stalag Luft 3 Sagan. (Kilde: Lost Bombers) Se foto af besætningen.

He was buried in Kiel War Cemetery 4. E. 8 in Germany.

Many more than the 152 planes mentioned in www.airmen.dk crashed into the North Sea, but this is included in www.airmen.dk because F/O Edmond T. Tunstall from this plane later was found washed ashore on the island of Fanø (which is here). From August 1944 it was a standing procedure for the Germans that perished airmen
were to be buried "on the spot". This also happened to E. T. Tunstall - and after the war it was impossible to find his body again! More on the page about F/O
E. T. Tunstall.

F/O A. A. A. Bradley has no known grave. Sgt J. Gregory, Flight Engineer was found washed ashore on 4 September 1944 and he was buried in Germany.
4 airmen became Prisoners of War and they were taken to German POW-Camps. Sgt E. T. Boyes and Sgt I. P. Cundall were taken to L7 Luckenwalde, while
