Hi to all,

I'm Vinnie, I'm 20 years old and I live in the Netherlands.
Lately I have been investigating some WWII crashes in the biggest lake in Holland, the IJsselmeer.
I would like to find out more about the following planes:

-Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-1 ('black 14' or '1+-')belonging to Oberleutnant Hubertus von Holtey from 5./JG 26. It crashed on 11.5.1940, but did it crash in the water of the IJsselmeer or did it crash on the ground, below the lake (the area of De Klomp, in the vicinity of Weesp)?

-Messerschmitt Bf-109 G-6, flown by Uffz. E. Thiele from 8./JG 1. Werk Nummer 19848. It crashed on the 19th or 20th of August 1943 in the IJsselmeer. Can anybody tell me if the pilot survived the crash?

-Messerschmitt Bf-109 G-6, Werk Nr. 20531. Pilot was Uffz. G. Frey, and he and his plane were part of 9./JG 1. The aircraft crashed in the IJsselmeer on september 22 1943. Is there any information about the pilot?

-Last but not least: in August 1960 several aircraft were salvaged by the Royal Dutch Airforce. This lot included an Me-109, though I wasn't able to find out more about this specific machine. Does anyone know what they found, what the Werk Nr. was, etc.?

Thank you for your time!

Regards,

Vinnie
