: Hi all,

: Thanks for your message. The whole story of the crash of t
: his Lancaster can be found on the website of NFLA. I have
: no further information I wish to supply as a result of the
: human drama suffered involving this particular crash.
:
: Our organisation has been involved with the preliminay inv
: estigation into the events leading to the crash and the Du
: tch family when the Lancaster crashed on their home. I can
: tell you that we do not approve in any way that the parts
: of this aircraft are being sold to raise money for a hang
: ar however noble the aims of RAF Wickenby are. Same goes f
: or the ridiculous gift by the RNethAF in giving the wrecka
: ge to RAF Wickenby under the assumption that the wreckage
: would be put on display instead of selling off for money.
:
: I hope that you can understand our views in this matter an
: d wish their efforts in raising money every succes but it
: can be done in a more humanitary manner than is happening
: right now.

: Cheers
