dook, SLB was nearest but from Kuching airfield,333/10621 smoots is bearing/dist. to crash site(use the ruler on GE to convert).
I was detached many times to Lundu. 2 pilots 8 g/crew,1 aircraft plus an Army B-47;Baco is another name for what is now the Pandan beach resort,due N from Lundu,,,,Sematan had an old Jap airfield E-W just inside the coast N of the village.
We operated from the football pitch in the centre of the village,surrounde by schools on 2 sides,the kids loved it; there was also an airstrip built a mile NE,but now gone.
