Exact crash time of 467 Squadron Lancaster EE135, 23-24 September 1943
 

Dear all,

I am hoping to establish the exact crash time of 467 Squadron Lancaster EE135 on 23-24 September 1943. The time quoted in the RAAF records of the crew is 'approximately 24.00 hrs'. Do the RCAF personnel files of F/Sgt. M.C. Craik RCAF and Sgt. H.A. Green RCAF state an exact time of the crash of EE135?

Cheers and thanks for any info, Theo

Hi. Theo. The Craik file has absolutely nothing and the Green file at approx 24:00 hours at Speyer Green.

Hope this helps.

Dear all -further to my posting on the loss of 467 Squadron Lancaster EE135; in the RAAF Personnel Records, the aircraft is stated to have crashed at 'Speyer Green' (M.R. R5381), the crew first being buried at Altlussheim. Who can tell me where exactly I can find 'Speyer Green' (M.R. R5381) on a map?

Cheers and thanks for any info, Theo
