Laurence, have just downloaded and am reading through the F540 of 294 Sqn for the period of the Sharjah det.
The Wellington that I mentioned in my earlier post was HZ976/G and the accident occurred whilst taking off from the airfield at Sharjah, with the aircraft coming down just off the field. So that one can be discounted.
The squadron was operating three aircraft types at the time; Walrus, Warwick and Wellington. Some Warwick serials are given in the ORB but not HG116.
Still reading.
