Hello chaps

Just had a day at Yorkshire's RAF Elvington bomber museum - thoroughly recommend it, plenty to see - and they have a map of all the RAF crashes in Yorkshire.

According to one of the dots on the map, it says a Halifax crashed on 7th June 1944 whilst on a fighter affiliation exercise, after an engine caught fire. Apparently it crashed near the villages of Mickley/West Tanfield, near Ripon.

However, speaking to locals and looking at records, I'm unable to find any reference at all to this - is this a case of a mis-read map reference?!

If anyone is able to provide any further detail e.g. map ref, sqn, crew losses etc I would be very grateful!

Many thanks

Austin
