question Halifax Bomber crash info

[rampant rivet]

HI All

I may have been gifted an artifact which may have come from from a crashed Halifax bomber and I am trying to find out more information about this aircraft and the circumstances surrounding its loss.

The aircraft may have crashed in 1944 Nr Blaenavon in Wales, all crew baled out but thats all I know I'm afraid.

I did a bit of a google search but have found no mention of this incident.

 

Any info much appreciated.

 

Cheers RR.

I would just check as Lee pointed out that it doesn't fall under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986.
