Description

Der Ruislip-Wellington-Unfall von 1942 ereignete sich am 18. Oktober 1942, als ein Vickers Wellington 1C-Bomber der No. 311 Squadron RAF in der Nähe der Station South Ruislip in Middlesex bei der Annäherung an RAF Northolt abstürzte. Der Absturz tötete alle 15 Personen an Bord des Flugzeugs und sechs Zivilisten am Boden, darunter vier Kinder.
Die 311 Squadron war eine Einheit des Coastal Command, die in RAF Talbenny in Pembrokeshire, Wales, stationiert war. Fast alle ihrer Mitglieder waren freie Tschechoslowaken, die im RAF Volunteer Reserve dienten. Nach einer erfolgreichen Operation der Staffel wurden sie nach London zur Nachbesprechung eingeladen. Am 18. Oktober 1942 wurde der Wellington mit der Seriennummer T2564 und dem Codebuchstaben KX-T von P/O František Bulis mit einer Besatzung von sechs und neun Passagieren geflogen. Alle an Bord waren Tschechoslowaken, abgesehen von einem belgischen Techniker.
