In September 2019, exactly 75 years after the liberation of the southern Netherlands, the excavation has started of the Short Stirling W7630 at the site of Lilbosch Abbey near Pey, Echt, Netherlands. The plane crashed here on 10 September 1942. The crew did not survive the crash and the excavation team expects their remains are still within the wreckage. They also presume the plane crashed as deep as 3 meters into the ground. The excavation was delayed for many years as the plane was severely shredded upon impact and it is unknown if the bomb load is also amongst the remains. The total costs of the excavation ranges up to €650,000.
