Good evening Gentlemens,
first of all allow me to wish you a very good 2012 year for you , your family, and your relatives
i was a contributor to the french modeling magasine REPLIC which sadly stopped publishing last month.
for a long time i try to find infos to model a Halifax which collapse the hill near my native village in north east france, Carignan
the only informations i have are:
crash date 5/26 november 1943
SERIAL JD325 CODE AL-F
That's the reason why i request informations about this particular bomber, this post interest me as some of you may have some usefull informations
i try to check the following parts:
nose : stream perpex or turret?
Vertical rudders, rectangular or arrow shape?
engine, in line or rotary?
The info i have is that it is a IIs type, so it coulb be : nose turret+arrow shape rudders and in line engine.
my neigbourg gave me some years ago i sheet of metal, black painted on one side, natural metal on the other with stress print and something which seems to be blood.
on the field someone dig and extract a perpex tiny sheet and a bullet.
My father was 7 years old and he only remember the day after with germans soldiers and dogs which guarded the relics
i thank you by advance for your help
best regards
J PAUL
