RAF Snailwell ORB? was created by Hawksley
Hi,
can anyone help with the station records of RAF Snailwell. In particular any information regarding RAF Halifax LK789 MP L, that was attacked by an intruder over Snailwell on the 25th April 1944. The Halifax may have tried to divert there?
Regards,
Mike Harrison

The ORB for Snailwell is AIR 28/716 held at the National Archives, Kew. Though to be honest you might also need to check the ORB for the unit(s) based there at the time of your incident of interest.

Shot down near Welney Norfolk, 04.20 hrs 25/4/44. One gunner killed and one injured, but I expect that you already know this.

You can request a copy for the page covering the date you are interested in. The National Archives can quote a price and if you are specific it should be too much. You may want some pages after the event as this may cover the aftermath. Have you tried the relevant Halifax unit's ORB. If available you can download the relevant month for £3.30 and get it in 5 mins. Apologies if you already know this.
