Re: '8th June 2014, 12:30', I like the idea of this interactive map. Unfortunately, the information on it is not correct. According to the 16 Sqdn ORBs, the two aircraft that were shot down that day were PL834 and PL896, not PL834 and PA893. Also, according to the pilot of PL834, he crashed in a field near Wolfheze, west of Arnhem (not Wolfhezestraat, Den Haag), and an eyewitness says PL896 just missed crashing into his house in Hees, Nijmegen, which rules out Dorpsstraat, Oosterhout as too far away. Dorpsstraat, Hees is far more likely.
