 HAL JP336 var nødt til at nødlande på havet (måske omkring her nordøst for Gjerrild på Djursland)
den 24. april 1945.
"Den 23. april 1945 kl. 20.15 lettede F/O Lawrence Barclay Davey fra Stornoway i HAL JP336. Ved
midnat opdagede flyet en tysk konvoj fra Norge, og under det første angreb blev flyet svært beskadiget
af flak. Davey forsøgte at nå land, men ca. 1 sømil (måske omkring her) nordøst for Gjerrild på Djursland (Gjerrild Fyr her) måtte flyet lande på vandet, hvor det holdt sig flydende i brændende tilstand i en halv
time. Fra land blev branden observeret, men ingen sejlede til undsætning." (FT 91-10-54)

"Liget af Sgt Oddy blev den 11. november 1945 fundet i strandkanten ved Saksild plantage (omkring her)
og transporteret til Odder Sygehus. Henholdsvis den 11. og 12. november 1945 fandt man syd for Rude Strandhotel (omkring her, nu Rude Strand Højskole) yderligere ligene af 2 omkomne flyvere (Parker og
Ford). De 3 flyvere blev begravet (på Odder Ny Kirkegård) den 16. november 1945 som
ukendte." (FAF) Se de 3 flyvere blandt 47 navne i London og Horsens. Se Google Map HorsensEH47.

HAL JP336 had to ditch in the Kattegat (maybe about here northeast of Gjerrild in Djursland)
on 24 April 1945.
"F/O Lawrence Barclay Davey took off from Stornoway in HAL JP336 on 23 April 1945 at 20:15.
At midnight the plane spotted a German convoy from Norway, and the plane was heavily damaged
by flak during the first attack. Davey tried to reach land, but the plane had to ditch about 1 nautical mile
(maybe about here) northeast of Gjerrild in Djursland (Gjerrild Lighthouse here). It floated burning for half an hour. The fire was seen from land,
but nobody sailed out to their rescue." (FT 91-10-54) See all of the story at HAL JP336.

"On 11 November 1945 the dead body of Sgt Oddy was found by the water´s edge at Saksild plantation (about here) and taken to Odder Hospital. On 11 and 12
November 1945 the dead bodies of 2 more airmen (Parker and Ford) were found south of Rude Strandhotel (about here, now Rude Strand Højskole).
The 3 airmen were buried (in Odder New Churchyard) as unknown on 16 November 1945." (FAF) See the 3 airmen among 47 names in London and Horsens.
