Crash site detective: What happened to Halifax NP711?

In a new documentary, Forces News joins a crash site investigator as he attempts to locate the exact spot where a Halifax heavy bomber crashed in February 1945 during a mission over Nazi Germany in the Second World War.

Seven men from 408 "Goose" Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force, died in the devastating crash, including 20-year-old RAF airman Flight Engineer Sergeant James Wilson.

In the documentary, former Dutch marine Erik Wieman uses his military knowledge and his past as a private detective to track down the evidence needed to pinpoint the exact location where Flight NP711 came down in flames.
