JOE O'LOUGHLIN'S ROLL OF HONOUR

RAF CASTLE ARCHDALE
A Roll of Honour for the CREW MEMBERS KILLED who died in crashes from 1941 to 1944. List of SUNDERLAND Flying boats based at RAF Castle Archdale during World War 11 that crashed with loss of life.

Date	aircraft	Detail
3rd December 1941.	W3988. 201 Squadron	Crashed Doonbeg. Co. Clare.The crew of W3988 were tasked to provide anti-submarine escort to an outbound convoy from Britain, but they did not find it. (BTW does anyone know which convoy this was ?) They became lost in the very bad weather which prevailed that day. Unfortunately the wireless set became inoperative as well, thus compounding their problems. Fuel was running low so a landing was imperative. Though flying along the west coast of Ireland for some hours they were unable to establish their position. During the landing a float broke away, causing the aircraft to tip over.
