Hello Donald,
Many thanks for your information. As a result of a visit to Kelloholm I managed to establish that Charles had a surviving brother who had moved away from the village. I eventually was able to track him down living not too far away from me in the same county as I live ! This was just based on a theory that he may have moved down to Corby to join Stewarts & Lloyds steelworks as so many Scots have done and the hunch paid off. The book was published and Charles brother was able to come to the book launch and he was shown the area of the crash site. Since then, all the crews names have been added to the village War Memorial and their names read out at Remembrance Sunday. In November this year a Memorial Picture was placed in Harpole Church. The book is titled Flight LP826 and I am hoping to visit Kelloholm again in the new year and place a copy in your village heritage rooms.
Best Regards
Patricia

Hello Godfather,

The aim of this research is to ultimately publish a Memorial Book to the crew.I have quite a lot of information for you some of which I am not able to publish here. Please contact me on my email address where we may correspond more freely.
It's great to hear from you please get back in touch.

Hello Kyt, I am researching the crash of a Wellington Bomber which came down on the edge of Althorpe Park, Northamptonshire on 24 Sept. 1944. All crew were lost. It was part of the 85 OTU flying out of Husbands Bosworth airport. I have the names of the crew and have been in contact with the family of the Canadian Airman,but am finding it difficult to positively trace the other airmen and their families. Any help that you could give me regarding these airmen would be wonderful. Iam new to this form of research so please forgive me if I have not gone about this in the correct way.Best Regards,
Wheeltapper.
