B17 wreckage in a UK pond or lake

I know that some B17 stuff was found in a pond near Thorpe Abbotts, but I have acquired some stuff from a pond in Hampshire or down south. Anyone know anything or heard about it please?!

Have a look at pg 534 of (re-arrange these words) News Aviation July edition.

Thanx very much and thanx Rich….Is this available in the UK and is it this July’s Aviation News?

Yeah, I read about a B-17 that came down in a lake near, I think Alresford near Winchester. I was in Wetherspoons pub in Winchester and they had a ‘guest beer’ in honour of said B-17. This was a few months back around March time I think, but I’ll endeavour to pull up the info and get it to you.

Thanx Rich…..I am hoping that the stuff is from this aircraft as it has a fantastic history as did the crew.

Why not just write ‘Aviation News’?

Rocketeer,

Further to my previous post, I think this link may provide details of the crash I mentioned, and includes details of the aircraft and pilot/crew involved, should you wish to pursue it further.

Regards,

Rich.
