According to some old info, this was a Halifax Mk II,
with serial HR923 belonging to 405 Sq and coded LQ - V.
It came down at Sandhammaren August 23/24 1943, after an
attack on Berlin. The majority of the wreck was removed
a couple of weeks later. Smaller parts including the tail
and various other bits remained in the water until 1976,
when the area was finally cleared.
