This one has been quite useful to me.

Just came across this PDF extract from a book listing Kampfgeschwader 55 (Stab/KG(J)55) HE-111 losses in the west:

A long shot....

I would like to research a meteor crash which occurred nearby (Malvern) in 1950. I have basic info such as type, pilot, registration etc from the good (but now non-existence) test flying memorial web site. It crashed near to where a friend now lives and he has asked for more info such as cause, exact location (it may have been on his land). Were there official reports done , similar to the MAAS which now exist, or is it a case of researching local archives for press cuttings etc.?

Have found sites on American crashes but little on RAF / UK.

Would welcome any thoughts / guidance.

Thanks
