Dear association members,
recently the resting ground of a 408 Squadron Lancaster was discovered in The Netherlands.
Although the location was known as a place where a bomber crashed during WWII, particulars were not known.
The bodies of the crew had all been recovered and buried eventually at the Schoonselhof in Antwerp
(Pictures on this site under \"Grave Markers\" The aircraft we have now found out had crashed in the early morning of 20th February 1944 after a raid on Leipzig. The location is in a protected conservation area.
The identity of the wreck is the Lancaster LL720 or Squadron code EQ-R.
I thought this knowledge might be of interest to members of the site.
