Would they be a list of aircraft loses for 18 OTU RAF Bramcote .
or any other info regarding the disposal of aircraft from RAF Bramcote .
just that I’m looking at and been talking to some old locals from
our village and I’ve looked at an old site that could have the remains of a Wellington buried from a maybe crash .
cheers if any one can find some good info of the old RAF Bramcote from 1940’s and any images would be great air to ground pics would be a big bonus.Just doing some in research of the area that sits on my doorstep.
Cheers Rich.

Have you considered the possibility it might be a Luftwaffe bomber – shot down while attacking Coventry. I’ve no idea if anyone’s got locations for those though.
