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).

what is the right code on the picture?
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.

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 🙂
