Re: Trying to ID crashed British (?) a/c and pilot's grave WC/FC in France or Belgium
Nice easy one Larry.

Tree line behind helps regarding location and as you note - probably France/Belgium. Was trying to work out if the crops were early in the season? autumn 1939 or spring 1940?

Aircraft type. Does not seem to be enough tubing for a Hurricane and fewer Spitfire loses? Seems to be an oxygen bottle at their feet.

Was wondering if the bottom left was the remains of a wheel spat/cover? Lysander?

regards

Mark
