Wellington IV Z1461 took off at 22:57 and failed to return. The aircraft was brought down at Waddewarden, 6 kilometres northeast of Jever at 02:17 hours on 27th July 1942. The crew were buried by the Germans in Wilhelmshaven. In 1949 the crew was moved to Oldenburg Sage British Military Cemetery.
This web site is dedicated to the memory of Percy Milnes (pictured top left) and other members of the crew of the Wellington bomber who flew their final flight from RAF Grimsby.
