Support the Recovery of a RCAF Halifax Bomber for the Bomber Command Museum of Canada

   On August 8th, 1943 RCAF Halifax Bomber, HR 871, landed in the Baltic off the Swedish coast.

All 7 crew bailed out and the Halifax has rested unknown and unseen for almost 76 years until recently discovered in 50 feet of water just a few miles offshore of the south tip of Sweden.

Halifax 57 Rescue and Havsresan are pleased to announce, after months of negotiations, we have official Swedish government permission to salvage this RCAF Halifax bomber.

We are appealing to all Canadians and history fans to help raise the funding and people’s support to recover HR871 and bring her home to Canada.
