            3 great and very freindly and accesible sources

            1- the Library in the DFTC- loads of books- magazines and articles - and if someonne has ever done a DF project on this, then they should have a copy.

            2-the Military Archives

            3- the German Embassy
            Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
            Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
            The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
            The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
            The best lack all conviction, while the worst
            Are full of passionate intensity.

                Many thanks gentlemen for all the pointers . I have Donal Mc Carrons books which are ok but I am looking for more detail . I did get Paddy Cummins's book on the crashes in the "South East" which was very well researched and had some wonderful photos .
                I was hoping that there were members on this forum that may have material or photos that have not been seen before , again many thanks to all who have took a interest in my post .

                  Not a bit.Same guy;he just doesn't post here anymore.I know that he has met many of the former Luftwaffe and Allied aircrew who ended up in Ireland.from what I know of his work, he is the standard-setter on the topic.
