ClinA-78 is on a distinguished road
LANCASTER PD309 was recovered in BELGIUM!

Hello,

I have the pleasure to close the last chapter of this old topic http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...ancaster+PD309

by recovering the wreckage of Lancaster PD309 this Saturday; thanks to the brave gathered volunteers, a skilled crane drive and... the no so disgusting wet weather of this bright Summertime

The recovery made an hit on the Belgian national TV

We recovered the 4 RR in quite good state but very few wings and fuselage parts from a deepth of about 4 m.
Now, I hope to welcome the family of the Aussie pilot (the skilled and courageous F/O Clarence Roy PEGG DFC) in the near future.
Thanks also to the TOCH forum members to unearth the truth about the real location of PD309.

Best regards
