 HAL BB378 var på
SOE-mission, da flyet 11. december 1943
nødlandede mellem Ugerløse og Store Merløse omkring
her nordøst for Bonderupgaard, Bonderupvej 150, 4370 Store Merløse. (Position
fra
Helge W. Gram) Se hvad der skete efter styrtet
og se den lange beretning Mission til Sjælland
fra F/O C.W. Fry
og danske kilder om 3 officerer fra HAL BB378 på
Sjælland.
Pilot, F/Lt A. C. Bartter kom til Sverige. Se noget af
hans rapport - Lost Bombers has
this.
Den korte version:
"Den var kort før kl. 02.00 skudt i brand af en
tysk Ju88 over Sjællands højeste punkt Gyldenløveshøj
(126 m,
her) , hvor chefen for
SOE i
Danmark Flemming B. Muus skulle være sprunget ud med faldskærm. Nødlandingen
forløb perfekt, og få minutter efter stod alle 9 ombordværende uskadte på
Bonderupgaards marker og så på det brændende vrag. De allierede flyvere blev
inddelt i to hold på henholdsvis 3 og 5 mand, der skulle søge i udpegede
retninger efter hjælp fra lokalbeboere, mens Muus selv fortsatte alene mod
København. De 3 officerer kom hurtigt i kontakt med personer med nær tilknytning
til modstandsbevægelsen, og få dage efter var de udskibet til Sverige. De 5
underofficerer gik det knapt så godt. Søndag den 13. december gik de ind hos en
gårdejer i Ølsted (her) ved Frederikssund. Gårdejeren ringede øjeblikkelig til det
danske politi og herfra blev den tyske værnemagt underrettet. I løbet af natten
blev de 5 flyvere afhentet og overført til Høvelte Kaserne (her)." (FT 88-35-18)

HAL BB378 was on a
SOE-mission, when the plane on 11
December 1943 crash landed between Ugerløse and Store Merløse about
here northeast of
Bonderupgaard, Bonderupvej 150, 4370 Store Merløse.
(Position from Helge W. Gram) See what happened after
the crash and see the long account
Mission to Sjaelland from F/O C.W. Fry and
Danish sources about 3 officers from HAL BB378 in
Sjaelland.
Pilot, F/Lt A. C. Bartter came to Sweden. See some of his report -- Lost Bombers has
this.
The short version:
"Shortly before 02:00 it caught fire when attacked by
a German Ju88 over the highest point of Sjælland, Gyldenløveshøj
(126 m,
here), where the
chief of SOE in Denmark was to bail out with his parachute. The crash landing
was perfect, and few minutes later all 9 on board stood unharmed in the fields
of Bonderupgaard, watching the burning wreck. The allied airmen were divided in
two teams of 3 and 5 airmen, who were to go in directions pointed out to them
to seek help from local residents, while Muus himself went on alone towards
Copenhagen. The 3 officers quickly got in touch with people with close ties to
the resistance movement, and they were sailed to Sweden a few days later. The 5
NCOs did not have the same luck. On Sunday 13 December they went in to a farmer
in Ølsted (here) at Frederikssund. The farmer immediately called the Danish police, and
the German Wehrmacht was informed. The 5 airmen were fetched during the night
and transferred to Høvelte Barracks (here)." (FT 88-35-18)
