Wellington Z1321 (142 Squadron)

Somewhere in mid June I think.

 

Last friday, the memorial has been unveiled. For a short photo reportage, see this link. I am still busy sorting all the photo's out..

Onthulling Wellingtonmonument in Vlaardingen Holy - WO2Actueel.nl

More will folow!

 

Fascinating thread indeed, very interesting.

I found a Wellington of this same Squadron, too - the Mk X LN466, crashed on the Western Alps on November the 24th, 1943.

 

The local television made a short video at the memorial. You can see me answering questions from schoolchildren and hoisting the British flag together with the mayor of Vlaardingen.
