Hi All.
I live in Lintrup, Denmark and right next to My house, there were a Wellington mk3 that crashed.
I'm searching some information about that specific aircraft, and I hope this is the rigth place.
It took off from Grimsby oct. 13 - 1942, at 06.36am towards Kiel. Mission: Bombraid Kiel.
It was shutted at, at the coastline of Esbjerg, Denmark. It crashed near Lintrup, about 40km away from Esbjerg. It crashed around 11pm.
The aircraft was a Vickers Wellington MKIII BJ653 (PH-R) carrying 5 crewmembers.
The plane was at the 12.sqdn, but were flying under the 142.sqdn.
I've found a few sites in danish about this plane, but it said nothing about painting or the looks of it. Special symbols etc.
I can't find any pictures of it anywhere, so i was hoping that you Guys could be helpfull.
I need All the data, information and pictures i can get, for a museum just 700meters away from the crashsite. They want to display some of the vreck that still are at the field. I'm also plantning to make a model kit of the aircraft that can be displayet along the other things. Thats why i need details about the look of it. The rigth colour, symbols and numbers (codes).
I'm looking forward to hear from you.
