Hello René,
Did you check 'The Sky is our Ocean' by Bart Rijnhout? There's a picture of the wreckage and Sgt Jindra in it. Apart from that there is a Czech publication with pictures and short biographies of Czech airmen in RAF service. This might contain pictures of the rest of the crew. Regards, Hans |

Re: 311 SQ Wellington KX-F (R1371) Pic??
Hi Rene,
I would like to point out that 'The Sky is our Ocean' is a great book but with some mistakes... The pictures of wreckage is correct but the man on the lift is not Sgt Jindra as it is officer observer... There are few photos - including the same alread mentioned - in "Na nebi hrdeho Albionu" by J. Rajlich and "Kridla miri nad Nemecko" by M. Pajer - icluding the portraits of the whole crew. But as I have no copyright for re-publishing them I am not able to provide them. Pavel

Pavel...Thanks for the information about the pic. of Jindra. Is it maybe possible to make some scans of the pictures. It's only for my one archive. I would appreciate that.
