As a resident of Porlock I am carrying out extensive research on EB132 that crashed on 11 June 1943, killing four of the crew, the other two crew surviving.

I would welcome any help and information on this incident, in particular a photograph of EB132.

Many thanks

Ron

Mike,

Many thanks for your email, there is a memorial to those that did not survive. Is it possible from whatever site to get an exact fix on the site.

Regards,

Ron

Ron,
It may be worth contacting the Somerset Records. The other link gives some history of 295 Squadron.
