John, it's Lancaster JB659, shot down over Holland with the loss of some or all crew, and crashed on a farm house, also killing some of thos on the ground. Sorry my explanation is a bit vague, I don't know all the details. There's a thread a little bit further down this page.

No doubt Cees knows a lot more about it, as I think (going by memory on this) he was involved in the recovery. Basically, half kilo bundles of wreckage are being sold for twenty quid a throw by the very organisation which has stated that they intend to display the remains of the aircraft in remembrance of those who lost their lives.
