I am trying to find the site of an RAF Stirling aircraft that crashed near Helchteren, Limburg on 14/02/1943.
Is an aviation history group that may have information on this?
Many thanks.

They may be able to help or can point to an organisation which knows where to look for.

All I got is this:
15 Squadron RAF
Stirling Mk.I BF448 LS-T
Crew:
F/L OC Chave (KIA)
Sgt LL Gladwin RCAF (KIA)
Sgt JF Cook (KIA)
P/O WA McL Archibald (KIA)
Sgt AA Self (KIA)
P/O JNM Muir (KIA)
Sgt TF Stocks (KIA)
Sgt JE Nicholls (KIA)
....damn
Took off at 1825 hrs from RAF Bourn. Shot down by Ofw Fritz Schellwat 5.NJG 1 during raid on Cologne
By the way: Helchteren is in Belgian Limburg
Hopes this helps

I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.
