pilot Posted 26 August , 2004 Share Posted 26 August , 2004 Hello I'm looking for any information regarding a DH4 shooted down near Aubercourt (Somme) on may 18th 1918. I would enjoy a picture of this plane Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted 26 August , 2004 Share Posted 26 August , 2004 Pilot The aircraft you're interested in is probably DH4 D8401 of No 205 Sqn RAF, flown by 2Lt H C R Conron and 2Lt J Finnigan; both crew members were killed in action. The aircraft was last seen near Aubercourt during a bombing raid on Chaulnes Railway Station. A DH4 from No 205 Sqn is below.
