Hello Larry,
Yes, the aircraft crashed close to Caen on 12 May 1941, was a Beaufort I, returning from a reconnaissance mission over St Nazaire.
The forming of the crew of this aircraft is :
- Sgt. D.E.R. ELWOOD (KIA)
- Sgt. G.T. HARDWICK (KIA)
- Sgt. W. BENNET (POW)
- Sgt. G.A.D. RITCHIE (POW)
I live in West of France and is especially interested with the air war over St Nazaire. So, could you send to me the pics showing this crashed aircraft on my e-mail address ?
Many thanks in advance
