    Thanks Ian for the info. I have BCL details but 96 narrows the number down abit from 200 that I had found. So roughly 16 a/c per month which means that up until its loss LK635 was one of about 32 delivered from Fairey before 22 Sept 1943.

    Cees: I understand what your saying, I have sent an e-mail to Hendon and hopefully they will hold what I need. From an eyewitness account LK635 exploded mid air, so the search area could in theory be scattered over many miles of German countryside. The search area if one was to be carried out has not yet been decided due to these circumstances. The early collection of technical data is for me a way of carrying on research whilst other avenues are confirmed or dismissed.

    This for me is totally new ground and I am grateful for more knowledgable researchers who, have carried out far more than me.

    Many thanks for all your input any other suggestions on what would be available would be very welcome.

    Regards

    Nick

    Hi Bill

    Tried to e-mail you but it was returned.

    Throughout my research into this lost aircraft I have come across the same problem over and over again. It seems that someone or something does not want the story to be told. Archives not available due to red tape or destroyed is the usual stumbling block.

    Not sure what the serial number would be (aviation is not my strong point) all I have is that it was a Halifax V – LK635 (would that be the serial number?) coded NA-H. Delivered by Fairey to 428 Sqn RCAF Aug-Sept 1943.

    Not much to go on but if I have not given you the number you need let me know and I will endeavour to look through my notes or search the internet for it.

    I would be very grateful for your help with anything concerning this aircraft, no matter how small.

    Hope to hear from you soon

    Regards

    Nick
