NG82NW 8006 unlocated
NLO: Glas Eilean [name: NG 845 252]
Loch Duich [name centred NG 91 21]
Loch Alsh [name centred NG 80 25].
Possibly on map sheets NG82SW, NG82NE, or NG92SW.
Formerly entered in error as NG92SW 8001 and NG82NE 8004 (unlocated).
(Classified as Supermarine Sea Otter: date of loss cited as 30 May 1945). This aircraft crashed whilst landing at East Lochalsh, near Glas Eileen [Eilean].
Registration: British. [No identity, service or unit affiliation cited].
(Location of loss cited as N57 15.0 W5 25.0).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially tentative. East Lochalsh is not noted as such on the 1998 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but Glas Eilean lies within the eastern part of Loch Alsh. The unverified location that is cited by Whittaker places the loss within Loch Duich, to the E.
The aircraft was presumably in Fleet Air Arm service.
