    Thanks Alan,

    do you know the function of the seat strap item ?
    I wonder that the both items have a different size, there are from the same crash site. This is not a part from the belt lock, right ?

    Thanks for the posting Rocketeer !

    What is it for a plug with REF-No- “5c/529” ?
    Do you have a idea ?

    Today I found on this crash site a identification plate with follow signs:

    REF No. 10K/22 SERIAL NO. 13096
    ROTARY TRANSFORMER TYPE 29
    INPUT 24 VOLTS 16 AMPS
    OUTPUT 1230 VOLTS 0.2 AMPS
    HOOVER LIMITED
    RIVALE, GREENFORD MIDDLESEX.

    Looking for a picture of this transformer.

    Thanks for the praise !

    The research of the fate from James Mason was not my job. I have only help to salvage him, make a report of this and was present on his burial…

    During my membership here I have ask a lot of questions about details of crew member and aircraft details and crash details. Without your help I have no chance to clear some fates here in Germany !
    It is very nice to know to find here answers of my questions !
    Thanks to you all for your help !

    Kind Regards from Kiel / Germany

    Thank !

    This is my “job” to report about the lot of fates from aviators, find and research there crash sites. All the killed and missed crew member of the ww2 was killed from germans. I think it is our duty to clear there fates…

    Flight Lieutenant James Mason was killed after the ww2, but he was here because we have had the war.

    Here are the coordinates of his grave (for using Google Earth):
    53.62286 N 010.06664 E

    Hi Linzee,

    thanks for the details !

    That was the wrong aircraft where I have hope to find 🙁

    I thing in the chronicle is the wrong crash date written.
    In my papers I found a notice of Kriegstagebücher, a crash with the same day in this location, but four month before (28.06.1940), with also 1KIA and 3POW.

    OK, this must be the right crew and aircraft now; Page Hampden L4112.

    Thanks for helpful postings !

    Regards

    Thanks !

    It was my idea too, that the 77 Sqdn. used this code during a period of a raid.

    Thanks Peter for the info. I am looking for a picture of a complete speed indicator.

    It is bad, but we have not found the engines, wings, or fuselage. Only hundrets of aluminium parts, and parts from cockpit (also 2cm windshield glasses).
    We dont know where the other aircraft parts are. It is possible that the Royal Air Force have recovered the a/c after the crash… (Crash date 16.06.1947)

    Thanks to Bastian for this information and the picture !
    Maybe I have the crash location of the Wellington R1038 !
    I am waiting for the permission to can research this location. Do you have more details about the crash ? All crew member was buried in Runnymede Memorial.
    When you have a report of the missing crew, may be you can send me a copy for my homepage and database and can I use this picture for my homepage?

    To the crash location of the Whitley T4134, I have now the location of forced landing. It is the shore north west of in Kiel and called “Schönhagen”. You can find my report and a lot of pictures here http://www.spurensuchesh.de/fzschoenha.htm

    Thanks,

    here some a/c with crash date, and maybe in the area of Schleswig-Holstein:

    25.04.1940 L1319 EA-?
    27.06.1940 P4305 EA-?
    06.08.1940 P4377 EA-K
    27.10.1940 X3027 EA-A

    25.06.1941 AD788 EA-V
    08.09.1941 AE236 EA-?

    09.01.1942 AD909 EA-?
    16.02.1942 AT124 EA-C

    The last single letter from the a/c on the picture is maybe a “C”, “G”, “O”, or “Q”.
