WW2 crashes etc. in Ireland

[Irish251]

I came across this site and listing recently.  People here might be interested in it; I cannot vouch for the accuracy or otherwise of the information, though clearly a good deal of effort has gone into compiling the table.

Hello all,

I was shown this thread with horror today!  This is my site,  Dennis Burke.

Thanks for the comments above guys.  Do note that I have gotten an immense amount of assistance from people, I try to set that out in the comments column.  These include, PJ Cummins, M Gleeson, T Kearns, G O'Regan, The Irish Military Archives, a list of relatives of crew members, various unit associations and interested people.

There are no doubt errors in the list but its a work in progress and will likely never finish.  (I might get a life in the mean time)

Please note that others have done A LOT of work on this subject prior to my producing the list.  Their work should not be overlooked as it is in much greater detail.  Hopefully we will see it in print someday.

For more detail on one such crash visit:

I'll try answer any comments but please be gentle.  I have to better prepare the notes sections to explain the short hand i have in the comments table.

Regards, take care
