Bonjour Hervé,


Are we certain of the dates ?


On 2 March 1945 Halifax III NP965 of 640 Squadron crashed near Floreffe, killing the entire crew.


Best regards

Hi Luc, thanks for this.
Do you have the names of the crew?
Because it seems to be the aircraft crashed in Floriffoux, pilot Lt. Robinson. 7 crews killed. There is now a memorial there.
Cheers
Hervé
