    Ok, we have clear the Whitley on the picture. It is the T4134 GE-T
    But the crash date is 10.09.1940 , crash location is Bremen, Germany.
    (Whitley Operational Losses by date)

    I have no information about a crash of Whitley this date in Kiel.

    Bad for me, good for the squadron (about the pictures).

    Regards

    three month later, I am no step forward about this picture !

    ok, the aircraft on the picture is a Whitley…
    crashdate is 11.09.1941, crash location is Kiel
    four letters I can see: T Q O E (one too much)

    four Whitley a/c are crashed this day, but all in Warnemünde.
    it is possible, that this a/c shot down on the way to the target.

    P5109
    Z6498
    Z6867
    Z6931

    maybe somebody have the squadron of this a/c ??

    Regards from Kiel

    Hi Archie,

    thanks for posting.
    all your data I have in my database, and have up to now no more details too, only the Wellington IC R1007 (I researched this crash in the last four weeks, because this a/c crashed only 500meter from my home away into the ground…)
    Looks at my report on my website:http://www.spurensuchesh.de/fzmels.htm
    Here you can see a lot od picture of the broken Wellington !

    You(and other user) can send me your email, than I send you the picture of the rudder from Halifax?

    During my research I found mostly parts of crashed aircrafts, who was recovered during the war (from the Wehrmacht), or a few month after the war (from the civilian people).

    When I found a new location, I search the little remains of the a/c in this area. often I search many hours, or few days for the parts, in hope to can identify the a/c about the parts.

    I have found a crash locations of a B-17 east of Kiel, and I have informations that the a/c was exploded during the crash on the ground. The people have closed the big hole, together with the rest of a/c, maybe with the crew to. In this year I hope to find more informations. Than I can contacted a acquaint who recovered the a/c in the south of Germany, together with the Army.

    Today, some time-whitness are now died, who can tell about the crashes. But mostly I find some people with informations or pictures…

    It is a big puzzle, and I must work as a investigator to close the file about a crash…
    But I have contact to a lot people who can help my to identify the parts, or have some other informations about the a/c, so here in this great forum, or in other too 🙂
