No trace of the aircraft or pilot was found. As Adrian Gray says, that was because they dug in the wrong place!

The local MP has always been adamant that no building should take place unless and until the wreckage and Eric have been recovered and I think he had pressured Gravesham Council into agreeing this. If building takes place there will be a green or square over the spot if he isn’t found.

The case could and should have been resolved long ago for the sake of Eric’s family.

It does make you wonder why this has taken so long to conclude, especially as the developers are standing by,at least there is a little piece of mind that F/S Williams crash-site will not be developed on,(well done to the local MP) it would be good if he could put some pressure on the local authorities to have one more attempt for the sake of the Williams family.
(Or someone else whoever it may be)

I have several photographs of this. Will try to post them later for you.

That would be good.

Cheers Andy

just see a FW 190 crashed in Staplehurst Kent again no year or Werk number.

(Maybe internet Sources mean shot down and not landing at its own accord)

I can think of three off the top of my head – one near Dungeness and at least two near West Malling – so I think you’ve been sold a pup.

Thanks for your reply Adrian,i must admit i found it hard to believe that there was just the one (internet sources)

Would you know the werk numbers and dates of the 3 aircraft that you have mentioned?

I should point out that discussion about this specific topic a few years back resulted in unexplained bans on forum members,including, utterly shamefully I think, a relative of Flt Sgt Williams. The thread was also deleted and discussion about the topic carried dire warning as to consequences, as I recall. No explanation was ever given, I’m afraid.

Sorry as you may know im pretty new to this great forum,(member of some 2 years or so) so i don’t relate to previous threads,on this subject.but just very interested (especially now) as to why there was no conclusion to Flt Sgt Williams previous excavations, at the end of the day isn’t it why we all relate to the courage of the likes of Pilot Williams,i feel very sad that this excavation hasn’t as yet been laid to rest.

In good usable condition, then >£100. But otherwise, whatever you can get I think.

Would you know what model Merlin this type of Carburetors would have fitted? and also what year?

Ggain Many thanks for both replys

Cheers Versuch.
