    Is this one from a chum any use to you?

    If so might be able to get more photos of the memorial.

    Details of that accident, and others;
    World War II Aviation Crash Sites in Scotland - Wellington R1646

    cheers,

    Thanks WotNoChad, it certainly interests me.

    There are two Aussies in that Aircraft however there are four buried in the cemetery at Dyce Old Churchyard Aberdeenshire. One from 111sq RAF and the other from 165sq RAF.

    If your chum is near there again, tell him the Aussie would appreciate photos of the headstones if he gets the chance.

    Thanks

    Spidge

    Allo mate,
    I've been down to Hawkinge today taking photo's. Got all the RAAF headstones, also the Kiwi one's as I couldn't recall if you wanted those or not, plus a few shots of the area and memorial. PM me your email address and I'll send them to you, or I can post them or link to them here. Just let me know which you prefer.

    cheers,

    Thanks WotNoChad.

    Fantastic effort. Hope you didn't get too wet!

    Are all the cemetery photos of Hawkinge?

    Not a problem, what's a little rain?

    No there's one (maybe two) of Margate too, in the range of dscf9345-9347.
    Rather irritatingly image shack suffixes them all with a three letter code, ignore those and just read the numbers.

    Actually just noticed that I've incorrectly labelled 9347 as Hawkinge, when it is Margate. Bleeding Imageshack is all over the place with reordering pictures.

    For future ref what's the size limit for emails to you?

    cheers,

    cheers,

    It is usually easier to link about 6-8 2MB photos at once. Usually only have trouble if my monthly 12GB download limit is close and I am not there to download them as they arrive.

    I will see if I can sort the cemetery photos as I catalogued them all as Hawkinge.

    Cheers
