EAST ANGLIAN AIRCRAFT RESEARCH GROUP

A loose association of individuals all involved with Aviation Archaeology in the eastern counties of England, we  have researched and recovered many crashed aircraft of the WWII period.

On the following pages are details and pictures of some of those excavations that we have been involved with. Items from these and other recoveries are on display at the 93rd Bomb Group Museum at Hardwick, Norfolk.

Most of the pages contain several pictures so please be patient while they load.
