Info on Anson crashed on 29 Sept 1944
 

Good night to all!
I am looking for the serial number and codes of the Avro ANSON of 140 Squadron that crashed on the 29 or 30 September 1944, taking the life of W/C C F M Chapman as well as S/L Rowland, F/O Cooper and others. It crashed on high ground flying IMC.
Any data on the Anson would be welcomed
Many thanks
Adriano Baumgartner

This old thread on RAFCommands suggests it is Anson NK607

I hope this helps, I found these by searching for Chapman and Anson etc in google.

Thanks Burke!
I had searched indeed on the RAF Forum, but I found only the names of the 5 airmen killed. Unfortunately I did not recorded the serial number of the old Anson.
Many thanks for your help and contribution!..and yes, I should have tried deeper!
Sorry!
Yours
