Gentlemen,

Another picture taken from among those which are already gathering dust in the fearful cellars of the HWH archive - so jealously guarded by our Chief Archivist, Scribe and Grand Librarian, JRT.

The complete destruction of recognizable shapes due to aerial collision is well represented here.
These bits and pieces are just a few fragments salvaged from what was left of two Lancasters which collided somewhere over Lincolnshire in March 1945. By that time, both RAF Bomber Command and the USAAF B17 and B24 wings had virtually run out of targets - but the relentless pounding went on right until the end, and so did the losses.



'Find your enemy and shoot him down - everything else is unimportant.'
