Well, I thought I'd add some more details to this as everyone was really helpful previously.

I sent a letter to the local newspaper asking if anyone knew of the crash location (exact point of impact) or if anyone had seen the incident.

Yesterday I received a message from the daughter of a woman who witnessed the whole event.

The mother (who was 21 at the time) was walking to a local dance when she became aware of the bomber falling from the sky, she said, with flames coming from it.

I am going to meet up with her in the next-week and hope to find out more about the incident she witnessed and see if she can shed any more light on the subject.

Just on a secondary note, was it common for local papers to photograph crash incidents and report them during wartime, or would this have been seen as lowering morale by the MOD? I know that there is an image of a Luftwaffe Bomber that crashed locally too, but obviously that would have been boosting for the populace?

My next port of call is to see if the local paper (even on micro film) has images of it, but if not, was it common practice by the RAF/MOD to photograph wreck sites and keep them for reference? If so, then where would be the next place to contact?

I'll keep you informed as I wonder whether it may be worth seeing if any of the Canadian's who were on-board, may have relatives who would be interested in this?
