Hi ClinA-78 and Khorat,

So it was 1944 instead of 1943. I regret, but I don't have any other information:
The crash-landing had place in the vicinity of GODVEERDEGEM where I've spoken with that old man. Unfortunaly at that time, he was only 13 or 14 years old and did not take notice of any numbers or lettres on the plane:
he told me that the plane crashed with his "wheels in the air" the pilot evaded of the fuselage with the help of a villager.

Clin, about Lt. Paul Hönle killed, I found in Krackers list:

“KIA 21 January, 1944 in aerial combat with P-47's of 356FG near Gottem, 20 km SW of Gent, Be.
Bf 109G-6 Werk # 160683 "White 10" (lost) 1/JG-3. Crashed and entombed in a swampy area at Gottem, Belgium. After two days of recovery attempts, the recovery effort was stopped. Pierre Koremann seeking permission to unearth pilot and plane. Pilot recovered September 2004. Buried Lommel Cemetery, Block 57/3 (Rosseels)”

Thanks you for the info,

Cheers
