Scotland / Re: Charles Harper
« on: Wednesday 18 December 13 19:32 GMT (UK)  »
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

Scotland / Charles Harper
« on: Sunday 05 June 11 13:38 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace family and friends of Charles Harper son of William and Christina Harper who resided in Kelloholm at the end of the 2nd World War. Charles was an airman who was sadly killed in a flying accident on 24th September 1944. He was a member of the 85 OTU flying out of Husbands Bosworth Airfield. Northamptonshire.

I would appreciate help with this request as I am writing a Memorial Book to the crew of this aircraft.
Many thanks,
Best regards.

Hello.
Thank you for your message. I am a member of the Harpole Heritage group and at the present I am researching the crash of the Wellington aircraft that CJ Rowlands was in. I am hoping to write a book to the memory of the crew and also hopefully to have a small memorial erected on the site in due course. I would be most grateful for any help/information you can give me.
Many thanks and best regards,
Wheeltapper

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.
