I’d appreciate any help anyone can offer regarding Halifax III LW436 of 434 Squadron which crashed approximately 1 mile from Drosay on 4 Aug 44. Three of the crew are buried in the local churchyard having been killed when the aircraft exploded returning from a mission to Bois de Casain. I should like to locate the crash site if possible and would also be keen to establish if any material has been recovered from the site.
Thanks
Stan
