Halifax found in Norway
Hello.
Last week a Halifax was found practically right by my house. http://www.nrk.no/trondelag/rare-bri...ord-1.12005570 I am a bit curious about loss records during raids on Tirpitz in Norway, trying to ID this a/c. Any info is most appreciated. Have a great weekend! Cheers John Fredrik

Re: Halifax found in Norway
Someone has suggested W7656 lost 28 April 1942 as a possibility

Re: Halifax found in Norway
Hello,
If the report of the loss of W7656 is 100% then the film does seem to back up the suggestion that this is indeed W7656 "TL-P". BCL vol 3 page 83. Aircraft hit by flak - crashed on fire -nose broke off on impact. Two of her crew ( one was RNZAF) were never found - rest of crew became POW's. So airmens remains may still be within the fuselage.
