My first appearance on this site is to request information on the following aircraft & crew. Any info would be gratefully received:-

He 111 - P2
WNR.1419

This aircraft crash landed just outside my home town of Buckley, Flintshire, North Wales during the night of 28th / 29th May 1941.
The crew all survived, Pilot - Helmut Einecke. Navigator - Hans-Georg Hartwig. Gunner/mechanic - Konrad Baron. Wireless operator - Hans Mulhahn.

The approximate site of the impact is know to me, and to enable further investigation of the incident ANY other information could prove helpful.
Many thanks,

This crash is very well known and has been investigated and even dug a number of times. Accounts of two of the crew (Einicke & Mulhahn) will be included in my book 'The Luftwaffe's Blitz' due out later this year but PM me if you want specifics answered
