Hi,

No.195 Squadron based at RAF Witchford lost Lancaster LM743 A4-R on a daylight raid to Homberg, November 2nd 1944.

The aircraft was skippered by New Zealander F/O R Palmer 421393 RNZAF, he and five of his crew survived. I am trying to establish the crash location of this aircraft.

Any help / pointers welcome.

TIA

Steve
