Hello Michael,
The attachment is a list of ISBN's of my "crash site" books. Only Smith and Earl cover Ireland and neither contain Whitley bomber sites, unfortunately. Lots of Wellingtons, Hampdens etc.... Still, they are a good read.
Let me know how you get on researching the records you have found. Maybe you can write a book covering these crashes yourself when you've finished!

Hello Steve,
thank you for replying to my mail. I have conducted a preliminary search and it would appear that there are no less than 5 crash listings for Whitley in Eire during the war years. One may still lie in Galway bay and another off Fastnet rock off our southern coast. The other three crash sites are Askill in Leitrim, Foynes in Limerick and Quigley point in Donegal. I am going to try and book a slot in the Irish military archives and see if I can research these incidences further as I have only conducted a preliminary search etc. this stage. I will keep you updated as My time and financial constraints allow.
Regards,
Michael Coughlan.
P.s it would be of great help if you could send me the titles,  and isbn's of the books by Smith and Earl.

Hello again Michael,
Thanks for the photos, I had not seen them before.
I've put the rest of the Glen Esk recovery photos in the photos
section.

Sorry, I can't find any crash sites of Whitleys in Ireland. I've
looked at David J.Smiths book and the two David Earl Crash site
books...plenty of Irish Crash sites but no Whitleys.

Perhaps Elliot will be able to help.

Steve.
