Re: dakota 43 16394

Hello there, thank you very much for your help, yes I am on the team. Recorded are the Lancaster and Pogues's Dakota. I filmed a brief testimony some years ago where someone mentioned a second DAkota, and this is why I am wondering if the information is correct. Hopefully I can clarify this tonight. I grew up in the area and when a youngster came across a small part of the plane 5 - 700 metres East of the site recorded for 43 16394 - this part is being given to the daughter of the pilot and I really do want to confirm if it is genuine. HAving looked through all these brilliant documents that have come forward I believe (at the moment) that the sites are one and the same and indeed the spread was 5 - 700 metres. It's strange though that the other Dakota doesn't seem to have been recorded. Anyway will keep you posted and thank you very much for your helpBest wishesAdam

it seems your problem is that people beleive there were three crashes in the area.

Can you fully elaborate what people think occured.

There is the C-47 43-16394 and the Lancaster that are documented and for which you are having the memorial shortly.

What details are there to support a third aircraft? Do people think there were two crashes on one of the days or three crashes on three dates.

There's some mention of an aircraft, another C-47, crashing in the valley with engine trouble flying south east?
