Er Yes! 🙁 – It was understood when EOD took the guns into their custody that they were going to check them for ammunition and deliver them for deactivation – However it seems that whilst the commanding officer was on leave, some unknown member of EOD took it upon themselves to complete both tasks the easy way – with semtex! 🙁

The results

As far as I can tell, this one was the last to fall in the area

04/05/1941 – Heinkel He111 Wk No 3975

There may have been others until Jan 1942 when the last raids were carried out om Liverpool, but these aircraft fell on diferent parts of the country not locally.

There was an incident in the last few days of the war when a aircraft fled Denmark to Ireland and whilst overflying Speke airport strafed the airfield, I never confimed this officialy.

Attached is the widnes He111

Photos of the dee Marshes He111 are attached

A report on the He111 is attached

Atcham Tower will also be able to add to these

There were also Sea Forts out in Liverpool Bay to deter raiders a photo of which is attached.

The incident you refer to is the Ju88 that came down at Brombourgh.

RAF Millom Expansion

It was announced yesterday that the RAF Millom museum is to take a lease on the former HMS Macaw site and its remaining buildings (a former RN Air Station – non flying) nearby to the existing museum. The site will be initially dedicated to the Fleet Air Arm, Fleet & Royal marines along with Army and Military Vehicles. There will also be a Home front display including two prefab bungalows.

It is hoped to have a limited opening from Easter weekend at this site and fully open in 12 months.

A third site is also being currently being discussed to act as a restoration/storage facility centre for the many aircraft and vehicles etc we currently have in storage throughout the North West.

Not at all, does anyone know what the latest is on this museum.

Incidentally RAF Millom celebrates its 15th Birthday this year.

The museum will not be moving to Morecombe, not only will it be staying put we are very close to anouncing the expansion plans based around the existing location and at an additional nearby site.
