REASON FOR LOSS: Took off in an Avro Anson (serial No K8813, Code MW-V) from R.A.F. St. Eval, Cornwall for a patrol in the Catelo Branco, Portugal area; At 16.57 hrs a message received; believed to be under attack from enemy aircraft; Search initiated but sad sadly no trace of aircraft or crew were found.

An Avro Anson was considered to be a multi-role aircraft and was probably on a maritime reconnaissance operation. It was considered obsolete in a combat role and if attacked it would have been basically defenceless.
