Dishforth. The specific aircraft was MH-F. One night he was assigned
to the wrong crew and in spite of arguing was not allowed to fly in
the usual aircraft. The aircraft he flew in did return that night,
but his usual crew aboard MH-F did not return. That aircraft flew
into a quarry over Yorkshire in thick fog. I have seen this
documented in official RAF records. Presumably, the aircraft
described on your website was a replacement for the one lost in the
quarry, however, it was still quite an experience to browse through
a website and come across Whitley MH-F, especially as references to
Whitleys are quite rare.
