I have just heard from the owner of the site about the two memorials and they are not for the two a/c KB787 and PA219. For those interested, the Lancasters mentioned are: ME596 "QR-H" and HK564 "AA-P" lost 12/13 Aug 1944 http://users.skynet.be/rmypegww9/BombGroupMuseumLuxembourg/raflancastermemorialweiswampach.html and another a/c lost on 23 Apr 1944 no s/n but crew is listed. http://users.skynet.be/rmypegww9/BombGroupMuseumLuxembourg/raflancastercommemorationplatefagnes.html ....Read More.
