According to records, the Halifax JP-276A took off on its final flight with a crew of five Canadians and two Britons from the Italian city of Brindisi around 8 p.m. on Aug. 4, 1944. Canadian pilot Capt. A.R. Blynn was leading the mission to drop supplies of weapons and ammunition to the Polish underground as the Warsaw ghetto uprising raged.
Sigh!
Monika Mscislowska looks like a Polish name.
So one could expect, that a Polish journalist will be able to to distinguish beetwen Warsaw Ghetto uprising in 1943 and Warsaw uprising in 1944.

How did the plane come to be buried? Where the wings still attached? Did it crash in a bog? Local folks seemed to know about the location but only recently revealed it?
Any pictures?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Neat!
I had the honour of going inside the Halifax in Trenton last summer, accompanying my Dad (who flew them).
A wonderful plane and a great bit of history - a plane nearly forgotten while everyone remembers the Lancaster.
