Finn Buch har indhentet disse oplysninger i kort form, her som almindelig
tekst:
Natten mellem 26. og 27. november 1944 var Stirling MK IV LK151 på operation SOE
Tablejam 69. Flyet forlod basen Tempsford kl. 2000 den 26. november 1944. Det
nedkastede 18 containere
(se
foto)
og 1 Eureca på en nedkastningsplads ved Krengerup på
Fyn. Det formodes at være blevet skudt ned af et JU88-fly fra 1/NJG3.
Sandsynligvis styrtede det i vandet i Lillebælt nær Assens.
(Krengerup
Gods er
her,
det sandsynlige nedstyrtningssted omkring
her. Eureca
var en pejlesender med kendt position - som et trådløst fyrtårn for
navigatøren.)
Sergeant Reginald Hughes Berrett, 19
år, var søn af Henry Oliver Berrett og Ethel Marian Berrett, Stamford Hill,
London.
Hans navn er på Panel
225 på the Runnymede Memorial blandt mere end 20.000 navne
på flyvere, der ikke har en kendt grav. (Kilde:

Finn Buch has obtained this information in a short version, here as plain
text:
During the night between 26 and 27 November, 1944 Stirling MK IV LK151 was on
operation SOE Tablejam 69. The plane left Tempsford Air Base at 2000 hrs on 26
November, 1944. It dropped 18 containers (see
photo) + 1 Eureca in a drop zone at Krengerup
on the island of Funen. It is believed to have been shot down by a JU88 of
1/NJG3. Probably it crashed into the sea in Lillebælt, near Assens.
(Krengerup
Manor is
here,
the likely crash site around
here.
Eureca
was a radio transmitter with a known position – as a wireless lighthouse to the
navigator.)
Sergeant Reginald Hughes Berrett, 19,
was the son of Henry Oliver Berrett, and of Ethel Marian Berrett, of Stamford Hill,
London.
He is commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial, Panel 225, among more than 20,000
