16 Sqdn Spitfire PL896 crash 20Sept1944
 

Hello there!
This aircraft, piloted by 147035 F/O John Robert Brodby flew out of RAF Northolt on a photo reconnaissance mission. I'm looking to confirm the crash site, which was mistakenly given as 148-150 Dorpsstraat, Hees, Nijmegen and has since been given both as 158-160 Dorpsstraat, Hees, Nijmegen and as 158-160 Dorpsstraat, Neerbosch, Nijmegen.

The 16 Sqdn ORBs for 20 Sept 1944 don't call this a Spitfire 'IX', unlike the pink PL834 shot down near Wolfheze the same day.

Thanks for any help you're able to offer!

Sorry, that should have read:

Another correction: F/O Brodby's service number was 174035 (d'oh!)…
