Re: RAF crash 18 Nov. 1944, Belgium

Hello,

Under the condition that six crew members were killed in this incident, an accident of a bomber aircraft ist most likely. According to the "Bomber Comand War Diary" and Bill Chorley's "Bomber Comand Losses 1944", only one aircraft that day and the time frame in the area seems to be possible:
LANCASTER III, PR541 which took off at 15:37 hours to a mission, target Wanne-Eickel, Germany. All seven crew-members were killed an are now resting at Reichswald Forest War Cemetary, Germany. For more certaincy, try to find out the disposition of the crew's human remains short after the incident and probably later.

Best wishes,

Horst weber
