Seeking ID of this crashed Wellington: Battle of the Heligoland Bight?
Hello,
I've been looking for photos of what might have been a second Wellington that crashed along the N. German Coast (or nearby island) during the Battle of the Heligoland Bight on 18 December 1940. Is this perhaps that a/c? If not, what is the date of this incident, clearly photographed after a FL somewhere on a coastal area? http://www.ebay.de/itm/WWII-GERMAN-F...-/291118812656 http://www.ebay.de/itm/WWII-GERMAN-Frankreich-Luftwaffe-abgeschossenes-Flugzeug-Kanalkuste-/291118812457 Looks like this a/c was heavily worked over by souvenir hunters. Regards, Larry Hickey EoE Project Coordinator |

Another pic of this one coming from another seller who also believe it's in France :
http://www.delcampe.net/page/item/id...l#.U0SVQ7Q6-M9 click on View the complete description "Annotation au dos: « Bristol-Blendheim » -> c’est en fait un vickers Wellington crashé vraisemblablement sur une plage de la Manche ( au regard du contexte de l'album)..." it's in fact a Vikers Wellington probably crashlanded on a Channel beach (given the context of the album)..." Fabric possibly burned off. |
