Re: KG 54 loss - 10 May 1940

Stijn,

Going over my notes on this one, here is a quote from an email from Peter Taghon regarding this crash:

"(Note: according to a 2/17/09 email from Peter Taghon: “I have never seen pictures of the 8/KG 54 crashes at Ruiselede, Morkhoven and Sluis. I visited the crash site in Ruiselede, and found several locals who seen the plane. They all told me it was set afire and nothing much was left of it."

So it would appear that the a/c was pretty well burned out, but we would still like to locate photos of the wreckage. Very likely at least some remnants remained after the fire, including probably the tail. Hope you can help us locate a photo of the remains of this a/c.
