Re: Looking for crash photos of 12 SQ Fairey Battles from 12.05.40-Garland PHoK P2204 & McIntosh PHoN L5439

Sorry for joining in late. Garland's Battle actually crashed into the bridge and was jammed in the side of it. In previous years I have seen a photograph of it in a book that I can't now remember, but you could see the tail of the Battle sticking out. Also inthe following days, my father, who had been seriously injured fighting with the 8th Warwickshire Regt. In the rearguard actions on the Comines Canal at Antoing, was taken over this bridge on the back of a German army lorry on his way into captivity. He saw thie Battle wedged into the bridge and told me about it when I was a kid. He told me that it was Garland's plane and it had made a huge impression on him, as it did me because I have never forgotten it. There clearly are photos of this, I don't know if you have had any success yet, but although I can't remember where I saw the photo, it was very stark and remains in my memory.
