: Hi all,
:
: Today the WIX went internationally operational, meaning th
: at Elliott was present today when we continued our investi
: gation into the crash of Whitley N1521, which crashed into
: a shallow lake on January 15th 1941.
:
: Although the results of the investigation were dissapointi
: ng, we did manage to find some parts of the aircraft inclu
: ding a large part of the DF-loop fairing, some structural
: bits and pieces and a large piece of Perspex. Apart from t
: hese we also found the sole of a shoe, we have to find out
: if this could be from a flying boot.
:
: Over the past few years an enormous amount of interesting
: parts have already been recovered and are now on show in o
: ur museum.
:
: Elliott didn't leave emptyhanded though as he took away th
: e aileron controls which was recovered some years earlier
: and which will be used by Elliott for the Whitley rebuild.
:
:
: It was an enjoyable day with occasional sunshine ( a few s
: howers as well and reasonably warm water)

: Cheers

Glad to hear it Cees.
