Re: ID Grave of British airman in France 12.08.40?

Larry

The inscription indicates this is a crew, rather than an "airman" as you suggest.

Thus we are looking for a crew, and the propellor seems to be of the De-Havilland type thus pointing, not surprisingly, to a Hampden.

It isn't much to go on, but R3768 of 15 Sqn is a possibility I suppose - but that is supposition! However, the large lumps of rock look like granite and this isn't the sort of rock ones expects to find along the French Channel coast as far as I am aware. It almost looks Scandinavian to me.
