Thank you very much for helping to identify the hatch.
It says on the hatch that it came down in 1943, written with a marker.
The hatch will most likely belong to the "RAF AVRO Lancaster I W4171 (EM-J)".
It came down on 27-04-1943 on the Volmolenbaan in Mol (courtesy of Snautzer01).
It is known that the population, given the chance, took as many parts as possible from each crashed plane.
The hatch comes from a scrap dealer from the area.
Fortunately, every item that came from the second world war was not destroyed but stored by the scrap dealer. His son, now 87 years old, sold a large part of this to me.
As a 12-year-old boy, the son saw a B-24 come down in his own municipality.
I still have a few aircraft parts that I would like to know which aircraft it came from.
Is it better to create a new topic for this?
