Avro Lincoln

I know this thread has been quiet for a while, but I do’nt know where to post this picture.
It was part of a collection of photos’ that my father had from his time in Malaya 1951-2.
Of course this crash scene could be from elsewhere. Can anyone throw any light on it?

Thanks, Jeff

[QUOTE=bobert;1296731]I was at at RAF Binbrook January/September 1947 with 617 Squadron Goodwill Tour to the USA/Canada 16 Lincolns. The Lincoln was a great aircraft and good to work on. I was Instruments with Fl/Sgt Thorpe.

Throughout the whole tour of the USA/Canada the Lincolns gave little or no trouble, and all 16 aircraft landed at Gander Newfoundland just 4 minutes beyond the scheduled ETA.

From an Instrument point of view the Lincoln very much resembled the Lancaster, and we had fond memories of the whole tour.

How long were you at Binbrook.?

I went back to Scampton after the Goodwill Tour.
Hi
I was at Binbrook from 1951 to 1956. I was at the dispersal. A few of the names I remember was F/Sgt Bass Chiefy Pye, Sgt Dobson. I think the CO was Sqdn Leader Thain, nicknamed Paddy.
