Visit to the new airport in Jersey by twelve Ansons of RAF Coastal Command from Tangmere. Note the open display of the squadron number, replaced by a letter code a few weeks later due to the increasing threat of war. As MW-A, K8783 was destroyed by German bombs at St Eval on 3 October 1940. This photo was added on 8 May 2021, and has since been viewed 435 times. |
