195 Squadron Lancaster Loss.
Hi,
No.195 Squadron based at RAF Witchford lost Lancaster LM743 A4-R on a daylight raid to Homberg, November 2nd 1944. The aircraft was skippered by New Zealander F/O R Palmer 421393 RNZAF, he and five of his crew survived. I am trying to establish the crash location of this aircraft. Any help / pointers welcome. TIA Steve
