Data derived from many sources. Incorporates 125,000 entries from Aircrew Deaths 39-47 Database. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.

36	Thompson	Hector Francis	Sergeant		920520		Thurlby (St. Germain) Churchyard Joint Grave A1.	1920		Navigator	RAFVR	Bomber Command	50Sqn	1942-02-21	Hampden	I	AE394	VN-M	Skellingthorpe		Koblenz	Returning from bombing a railway junction to the West of Koblenz the a/c aircraft crashed into ‘Haleys Terrace’ York at 0218 and was destroyed The ORB records that shortly after leaving the target the Navigator became unconscious; the Pilot then set course for home base after obtaining ‘fixes’. The Navigator then recovered, but whilst coming in from the North Sea one engine failed, and the a/c then encountered severe icing conditions. Shortly after the second engine failed due to fuel exhaustion and the crew were ordered to abandon the aircraft.	Killed		Son of Arthur and Lucie Thompson, of Croydon, Surrey. The aircraft ran low on fuel due to navigational errors and crossed the Yorkshire coast on one engine and then began to ice up. This made control difficult, and when the second engine cut the pilot ordered ‘bail out’. The pilot saw one crew member bail-out so then jumped himself; unfortunately two of the crew had not escaped and were killed when the a/c hit the road outside the Rowntrees factory at York remaining substantially intact. WO Mapp parachuted to safety but the other crew member’s parachute failed to deploy properly as he hit trees in Haxby Road and was killed. The lower escape hatches were jammed shut probably due to the ice formations on the a/c and the other two airmen were unable to get out of the aircraft before it crashed. The aircraft was destroyed.
