Aircraft Wreck @ Sea

Okay, I know this subject has come up before, but does anyone know of any good aircraft wrecks in Northern Europe pertaining to the RAF (Halifax, Lancaster, etc)?

Al,

There is a similar map of the Dutch IJsselmeer (the watery hole in the middle of holland) indicating the number of aircraft that have come down in it during 40′-45′. It has hundreds and hundres of dots looking like you rmap but in a much more condensed area.

Makes you wonder about the possibilities. As recently as last friday I was informed by our very locay fishermen that another wreck of a very large aircraft (four-engined bomber?) had been found. Next summer we are going to find out. I hope it’s not another Lanc……, quoting Monthy Pyton:

And now for something completely different……… :rolleyes:

Cheers

This gives you food for thought. It’s a map depicting aircraft forced landings around the British Isles for just one six month period of W.W.2…

Some of these had happy outcomes, many did not. Remembrance time is with us again, and charts like this make you realise just how much we owe.
