NLO: Macduff [name: NJ 704 649]
Stocked Head [name: NJ 766 647].
Possibly on map sheet NJ76SW.
(Classified as Vickers Wellington IC: date of loss cited as 29 September 1942). N2758: this aircraft of 20 OTU [RAF] hit cliffs 3 miles E of Macduff.
Registration: British.
(Location of loss cited as N57 41.00 W2 25.00).
I G Whittaker 1998.
The map sheet assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. The loss of this aircraft may alternatively have occurred within the area of NJ76SW.
This aircraft apparently hit the cliffs near Stocked Head. It then presumably fell back into the sea.
