RAF Aircraft Shot Down Over East Germany 1953: RF531

[Dontmentionpenalty]

Hello everyone,

I'm a journalist from Germany looking for information about a Cold War incident over East Germany on March 12, 1953. Then a RAF Avro Lincoln (RF 531) was shot down by Soviet MiG fighters near Boizenburg, killing most of the British crew and triggering a severe diplomatic crisis between London and Moscow.


Is there anyone who can give further information about that incident?

Thanks beforehand!
