Okay Gents the parts got here during the week but I was in France on business.

I have an original newspaper cutting that refers to the downing of British Bomber.

The parts are mainly airframe with a bit of bomb, perspex and engine etc.

You can clearly see Night black and British internal green paint…

The joining piece between rib and stringer was intact on one piece and the part number is ……. 57.

So Halifax and not Stirling.

Sorry to make you go through Chorley and other sources again – any chance of an ident on a Halifax lost at Schonau near Heidelberg on the 12th of March ? ( see date in article).

Thank you Chaps.

John when I get them – I will see what they are and send some pics if Stirling.

Presumably you were expecting to find something aeronautical then, Brian, judging by the size of the digging party?

Yes Mike – some bits visible in the picture .. We only found P51, Catalina, Oxford, T6, B17,B25, Lancaster, Miles Magister and a few other aircraft pieces..

Thanks for the pics Chumpy!
