Long-time readers (or those of you sampling the back-catalogue using Google) might remember a post from 2006 about a wrecked Halifax bomber that crashed in 1944:
"I'd love to be able to contact any surviving relatives of the remainder of the crew," said Paul Reilly (email: preilly@blueyonder.co.uk).
"All my efforts so far have drawn a blank other than finding Lorne's brother. It would be fantastic if any of the relatives in Canada, if traced, could be there for the dedication."
The Halifax aircraft, serial number DK185, crashed on Ilkley Moor, West Yorkshire, England, around 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 31, 1944.
I received an email from "Wreck Hunter" today, linking to this post at Peak Wreck Hunters:
