26/27 September 1941 Wellington W5557 305 Sqn RAF Lindholme. Take off 19.43 to bomb Koln, crashed on return on Hatfield Moor at 0.1.35 in poor visibility.

W5557 has been reported as striking a farm house killing 3 civilians; although no record or local burials can be found to prove this (this refers to a Halifax that crashed near this location killing the crew and a assing airman). W5557 was also believed to be the aircraft referred to in the "Lindholme Willy" haunting. The ghost of aWW2 airman was said to haunt the site asking people if the crew had returned. These haunting are said to have stopped after a wreck bomber and crew were dug up in 70's. However all the crew of W5557 were buried at Newark soon after the crash (this refers to the skeletal remains dug up during peat digging on Packard's Moor in 1987. On 12th October 1987, HM Coroner, Mr Kenneth Porter, recorded an open verdict and stated that the victim was probably thrown from an, as yet, undetected crashing aircraft which like several others was buried in the bog. Remains most closely resembles F/Sgt Stanislaw Marian Gross from missing 305 Wellington Z8406 .
