Hello ,

Thank you all for the help , strange enough Uffz Schmitz " claims " this B-17 south-west of the town of Sint-Truiden ( St-Trond) in french.When you see the crashsites off 42-30813 and 42-3216 they are in the north part of the province off Limburg some 35 miles of Sint-Truiden.Perhaps it is not a confirmed claims so probably he must have been attacking this B-17 in this neightbourhood.
