De foto's van de Lancaster Memorial staan online:

During an excavation in a dyked marsh in Kruibeke(Belgium) ,a motor and prop of a Mosquito were found.More dangerous was the find of a 500kg damaged bomb.Another 500 kg one and 2 smaller ones were also found and taken away by DOVO(Belgian explosives experts) to be destroyed later.The damaged one however had to be destroyed in situ by a contolled explosion.The motor and prop will be held for the British Embassy,and if they decline the finds then the mayor of Kruibeke will have them installed as a monument.At the moment I have found no pictures of the findings or explosion.
