Re: Eric Alastair Voy Sgt Pilot 217 Squadron
Hi,I just came across this thread after googling the aircraft's serial number and was most interested as it helps with some family history.My great-uncle was involved in disposing of what look like bombs from the Beaufort and he photographed the wreckage. The pictures show the detached tail in one piece, and the rear fuselage with the turret more or less intact . The fire seems to have destroyed the cabin area over the wing towards the nose.The serial and "MW" code are clearly visible.I hope this is of interest, there may be more details in the RAF BD records if they still exist.From Uncle's map, it would appear that the nearest squad would have been No4 at Detling.
