Hi All
In the churchyard at East Wretham there a number of graves of Czech airmen, mostly 311 Squadron which was based at East Wretham. Six of the graves are of airmen from 1429 Czechoslovak Operational Training Flight. They all died on 6 April 1942. Looks like a crew all lost together to me.
Does anyone know the details?
Cheers
Frank
