On the 6th June 1998 members of the society gathered with relatives of former missing Luftwaffe Pilot Uffz. Herbert Blochberger, for his funeral service at the Deautscher Soldatenfriedhof Cimetiere Militaire Allemand 1939 – 1945 Champigny, St. Andre, France. Herbert was recovered in France along with the remains of Messerschmitt Me109 on the 23rd November 1996.
Visit to Epping Cemetery to locate a war grave and pay our respects to a Polish pilot Warrant Officer Aleksander Pietrzak whose aircraft crash site we were visiting for the first time that same day. The purpose of our visit to the crash site on the 18th August 2007 was in order to meet with the farmer and land owner to discuss the possible excavation of Aleksander's P-51 III Mustang FX867, in his memory.
As with all of our crash site investigations a minutes silence is always held in respect for any crew members involved in the incident. In this case a minutes silence was held in memory of Polish pilot, Warrant Officer Aleksander Pietrzak before the Recovery of Mustang III Serial No. FX867 R.A.F. 309 (Polish) Squadron.
Thank you for Visiting.
