Coastal command Beaufort squadron 17 may 1942 ?

[lucienlepine]

Good morning !
a heavy heatwave is numbing us all....continue to work on Coastal Command remembrance.


On May 17, 1942, in the late afternoon, a Bristol Beaufort 's detachment carried out an operation towards Norway, in the Egersund Fjord sector.
During the mission, the 235 (Beaufighter) sq. lost a crew (Sabadini/Taylor - LA-A/R2269)
would it be possible to know more about the objective of this Coastal Command mission as well as the Beaufort squadron number?


Thanking you
Lucien
