Halifax found in Norway
 

Hello.

Last week a Halifax was found practically right by my house.

I am a bit curious about loss records during raids on Tirpitz in Norway, trying to ID this a/c.

Any info is most appreciated.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers

Someone has suggested W7656 lost 28 April 1942 as a possibility

Hello,
If the report of the loss of W7656 is 100% then the film does seem to back up the suggestion that this is indeed W7656 "TL-P".
BCL vol 3 page 83. Aircraft hit by flak - crashed on fire -nose broke off on impact.
Two of her crew ( one was RNZAF) were never found - rest of crew became POW's.
So airmens remains may still be within the fuselage.

Soo suprised that it was found right by my house, have never known there was something there altough there are several sites in an radius about 10 km.

Thanks for the help :)
