Halifax PN229 at East Moor airfield.
During the early hours of 19th March 1945 this 432 Squadron aircraft and others from the same squadron were flown on an operational flight to bomb target at Witten. The aircraft took off from East Moor at 00.47hrs and the crew released their bomb load over the target from 14,800 feet at 04.20hrs. At 07.43hrs the aircraft landed at East Moor without incident. A short time later the aircraft was being taxied on the perimeter track when it collided with Halifax NP698 that had itself just struck a hedge while taxying. Minor damage to both aircraft resulted.
