Salamanca Memorial

Life is a series of Odd coincidences, I was serving on 230 at this time, by strange coincidence, a guy that works for me periodically says that he was in the Army over there at the time and he says the aircraft crashed about 300 yards into the Jungle. They had to dig the wreckage out. He may have just been generalising but I will ask him when he next comes in. They did take a while to sort things out after the crash, in my experience elsewhere stuff does get scattered. It does sound as though she went in pretty hard. I worked with 72, 33, and was actually on 230 sqdn, they were great times although morale was low due to rubbish wages, the Conservatives sorted that out with big pay rises, sadly I had already signed my notice by then.
