Well Done Erik and team. I’m always in awe of the time invested and attention to detail that incredible people like you put into finding and identifying these old and nearly forgotten crash sites. Thank you, J Conroy.👍🇨🇦
What an amazing thing to do. My Dad was in an RAF MU at the end of the war in Europe. They were retrieving remains from crashed aircraft. He said it was harrowing.
There is a Canadian Lancaster crashed on the hills of the Peak District (UK) near to where I live that is from the same Squadron. . Lancaster Mk.X KB993 No.408 Squadron, RCAF, crashed 18th May 1945. All crew killed, and very little wreckage left at the scene. Just a small crated and melted aluminium fragments. Terrible shame that the German aircrew don't get memorials. They weren't any different to the Allied aircrew! Just young men doing their job for their country!
This is history that is Only Just within living memory. Even kids born during the war are few and far between now as are stories passed on to kids from those that were there. It is SO GOOD to see people taking such an active interest to research and preserve the archaeology. While it is still there.
If you’re ever in Nanton Alberta be sure to stop at the Bomber Command Museum. Long ago I was an officer cadet in the RAF and often got heck for chewing gum. One day it was the Sqn Ldr who gave me heck and to stop doing it. I said “yes sir. Did you know that 45% of BomberCommand was made up of colonials?” I think that was the last time I got chewed over gum.
An amazing and humbling story. Well done to Eric and his team.
Well done Eric and all the crash investigators, and Rob Olver for a superb commentary.
