wrenchy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi. I want to do a model of a particular Halifax and am looking for a bit of info. I was wondering if anyone here could help me. On April 8, 1943, RCAF 419squadron Halifax II BB-327, coded VR-Q, was shot down over Duisberg, Germany. The flight engineer, Sgt. L.E. Turner, was the sole survivor and spent the rest of the war as a p.o.w. He was my great uncle Vern. Anyways, I’ve poured over everything I could find, looking for a pic of that particular plane. Needle in a haystack. I’d like to know if it featured nose art or not. If I can’t find anything I’ll just finish it with the standard markings. Does anyone know or could you point me somewhere to find out? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi Ryan, Try 419 Squadron itself, their archives are fabulous. If you can find someone to sort through the albums that is. You can find their contact info on the DND main site. I volunteered at all my squadrons (408, 409, 416, 418, 435, and 440) in the archives. I may know the current CO.
