On 21 April 1943 a Wellington Bomber crashed at Elmley Lovett, following an engine fire and the loss of one wing. I believe the aircraft came down in a field between the village and Hartlebury, opposite the old No. 25 Maintenance Unit RAF. My thanks to Mark and Delwyn from MARG for this infomation. All 7 crew were killed, including my great-uncle, Howard Holmes, who was the navigator. I would be deeply grateful for any local information or memories relating to the incident.
