Lancaster bomber crash 1951 - help needed
My son was hiking with the Scouts up Beinne Eighe in the Trossachs and came back with photographs of a crashed Lancaster Bomber. I did some searches (on t’internet) and found some information and more pictures.
I know that the crash happened in March 1951 and that all 8 crew perished. There is a lot of information about the recovery of the bodies, which took some 8 months and is a story of heroism in itself.
I am trying to identify the crew as I believe that one of them was local to where the Scout group is based (West Lothian) and that the he is buried in the area. The Scouts would like to hold some form of dedication service on Remembrance Day and it would be great if we could find out the crewman’s name and, perhaps, have a small service at his grave-site.
Can anybody help me with information ?
Thanks
