I seem to have (temporarily) overcome the technical difficulties . . .

The attached image is of the memorial on the western edge of the village of Hank on the junction of the Orangepolderweg and the Aakvlaaweg . . .

The memorial consists of a propeller unit from LV905/EY-W “Willie”, with the names of the seven crew engraved on one of the actual blades

Just out of sight in this image is an information board in both Dutch & English giving details of the crash and images of all seven crewmembers

The location of the crash site itself is approx 500 yards furthe down a small road in the “10 o’clock” position from this view

The wreath laid by OC78 Sqn is clearly visible in this view

Here the Dutch had lit seven fires – one for each of the crew lost . . .

Will try and post more ASAP
