Have been going through some of the crashes and the research done is pretty impressive, particularly the effort taken to visit the crash sites and show where the aircraft crashed.

 

Aircraft Crash Research In Southern Norway

Southern Norway crashes. Spidge, some grave sites here so you might turn up some Aussies.

 

Great site Andy, Ive spent the last 45 minutes browsing it!! Thanks for sharing.

 

No worries, mate. It is rather enthralling!

 

Hi Andy,

This is where the 24 Aussies are buried.

Hopefully someone might be getting Trondheim & Oslo for me.

Don't forget to double click the images to enlarge further.

Spidge, I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier. I have two mates in Norway who travel around a fair bit. I will get in touch with them and see if they have the time to help.

Btw, from memory you have a listing for Clermont in Queensland? My lists are at home. My sister lives there and can probably do Mackay as well if you have any there.

 

Thanks Andy,

Be great if you can get them.

Cheers

Geoff

I'll send off the Norwegian emails now and ask my sister tomorrow.

 

Found this page interesting on crashes that occurred with troops arriving to disarm the Germans.

Air Vice Marshall[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Sir J.R Scarlett-Streatfield[/FONT] was also killed.
