Wellington crash 1950, Essex
All,
I wonder if anyone could offer any more information on the crash of a RAF Vickers Wellington in Essex in July 1950. I *think* it happened near Wimbish, or maybe Saffron Walden (same place?). I have seen a brief mention that it was 10th July 1950, but that date comes from the UK Gazette so I'd like to think that it was correct.
I am trying to find out which aircraft was involved, which unit/squadron, and a more precise location. It could also be a few days either side of the 10th July.
I have been trawling around various internet sites relating to crashes, but I cannot find anything that matches. To be honest, I was most surprised to read that it was a Wellington flying in 1950!, I thought that they would all be long gone/grounded by then.
Thanks ... over to you ...
