Hampden L4082 ,50 Squadron 20-MAR-1939 Boultham Baths, Lincoln


Secound Site Hampden L4082 ,50 Squadron Royal Air Force 20-MAR-1939 ,on a return flight from RAF Evanton Scotland to RAF Waddington the bomber got into difficulty's and dived into a boggy area near the now gone Boultham Baths, Lincoln with the sad loss of 4 crew One crew member Eng/Tec Bill Marshall had returned the day before by train due to a family issue and was waiting at the base .

At the site today nothing remembers the loss but given my best sources the bomber crashed near the water works in the trees between the new build and allotments some small bits were recovered in local construction and passed on by the BBMF to surviving family
Crew =
P/o R McAlister
Sgt W.Freestone
A/c N.Newsham
A/c F.Greensill
