I have seen this web site, but it doe's not give a location of the site, i think its a stone memorial in a field outside the the town of Carnin in France, just thought i could pin point it before i go over.

Thanks

Tony, if you visit Capt. Ball's grave at Annoeullin Communal Cemetery, German Extension (About 20Km East of Béthune), you will be very near the crash site, which is marked by a small stone column in a field about 800m north-north-west of the cemetery.
