RAF crash records

[alanatabz]

Does anybody know if the RAF Museum in Hendon hold records of crashes that occurred during WW2?

Can they be viewed by the public?

If so, what info is best to have to find details?

Crew names? Aircraft number, date of Crash, or all of these?

What info do such records hold>

I believe that both the AHB and RAFM have copies of the Accident Cards which, in the AHB, are filed by ac type and date and normally only the pilot is listed. However, the AHB does not allow public access to the cards. Are these the "crash cards" you are talking about?

The Royal Air Force Museum Hendon hold copies of Bomber Command Loss Cards. You can see these also here.

Check out the About the Records tab as well as the other ones to see all the permutations.

RAFM hold accident cards, however there are some odd ones missing that may have been 'lifted' in the in between years prior to 1975/1976 when the RAFM received them.

It looks like the crash cards that I am looking to see.

Typically, e.g. 2 x Blenheims on 3rd Sept 1940. N3608 and N3529

Basically an overview of who/what/why etc.
