Hi Pavel,

Nothing mentioned in the ORB as such. Air Britain also mentions 21 Sqdn, but I fear this might be wrong...

Pavel,

This website has a different look on the 219 Squadron Mosquito lost on 19.4.1945:

Serial NT380 suggested here.

Remarkable that Mosquito came down rather far away from operation area...

"Scholdt" is of course "Scheldt" or even better Schelde in plain Dutch.

LALOUX MAURICE HENRI JOSEPH
United Kingdom Flight Sergeant (Nav.) Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 219 Sqdn. Killed19/04/1945 1424951

(In 219 Squadron - Belgian Wings)
-The following month, on 18th April, PETRISSE and his comrade LALOUX takes off from Gilze-Rijen to operate over Northern Germany. The Flak again is the cause of the loss of their Mosquito FK-Z which crashes at Visselhövede killing the crew. After the war, their bodies will be found hurriedly burried in the Wehnsen cemetery (near Soltau).

Roba, J.-L. - Belgen in de RAF / 3 - Albert Petrisse, Maurice Laloux
says both killed 18.4.1945
Op 18 april onderging een andere Belgische Mosquitobemanning van 219 squadron hetzelfde lot: Albert Pétrisse en Maurice Laloux.

Is possible?
MM733

Nav. F/Sgt Maurice Henri J. LALOUX - 1424951 R.A.F.V.R. - killed

Indeed remarkable that the Mosquito came down somewhat away from traffic areas.
