Plan
The airfield of Syerston is located ten miles North East of Nottingham, close to the A46 Nottingham-Newark motorway and the river Trent. From this base the “Hampden’s” took off. They executed bombing missions on Ostend. The Hampden that crashed in Westkerke was the only one of a group of nine that was lost. The exact cause of the loss remains un clear. However, it is known that the aircraft crashed nine kilometers South East of Ostend, in the night of November the 9th 1941. [9]
