Re: British bomber loss over Germany on 17.08.40
Henk,
Great info! Thanks! I think that you transposed the SN; shouldn't it be R3174?
I was surprised that the 17.08.40 Wellington crash near Einberg was coded OJoA, as my two photos reported above of the crash of a plane with those codes don't show the remains in a wooded area like the other photos of the known Einberg crash.They show a badly smashed rear fuselage section, with another major part of the wreckage in the background, lying on open, agricultural ground, totally unlike the other photos in the woods of the Einberg crash. This almost has to be a different a/c at a different time period. I know that a/c codes were re-used and that over the course of the war several Wellingtons may have carried the code OJoA. Are you aware of another Wellington with the code OJoA that might have crashed during some other time period?
Regards,
