Gerard I'm in touch with the grandson of one of the crew of Whitley Z6493. Is it still of interest to you. John
Hello Gerard, I am in toch with family of John Garrould and Robert Keymer If the grandson is of one of the other crew members I am very interested! Some weeks ago we found the crash location of a Whitley. It's either the Z6493 or the Z6470. They both crashed in the same nature reserve and two months after each other.We are still searching for the crash location of the other Whitley. Hope to hear from you and thank you. Best wishes, Piet Snellen
