|  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)
 
    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 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, Pilot 
    og
 F/O R. A. McDonald blev sendt til Stalag Luft 3 Sagan. (Kilde: Lost 
    Bombers) Se foto af besætningen.
 7 flyvere. Flere links i engelsk version.
  On 13 
    August 1944 at about 02.00 hours 
    
    HAL MZ349 
    ditched into the North Sea on the return flight from a bombing raid on
    Brunswick 
    (Braunschweig
    here) - set on fire by enemy action. (Source: Lost Bombers)
 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 was found washed ashore on 4 
    September 1944 and he was buried in Germany. 4 airmen becamePrisoners 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 F/Lt
    A. Hannay, Pilot
 and
    F/O R. A. McDonald 
    were taken to L 3 
    Sagan. (Source: Lost Bombers) See Crew Photo.
