Re: Excavated Hurricane, Belgium

Montana,

I made that same reflection, but there is one small problem: a British aircraft did come down in the village of Overijse.

According to the mayor of Overijse in a letter dated Feb. 10th ,1953, in answer to a letter of the Belgium Ministry of Defence pertaining to how many aircraft where shot down over the territory of Overijse during the period May 10th - 28th (German invasion of Belgium-Belgian capitulation), one British aircraft fell within the boundaries of Overijse.

Neither the aircraft’s exact crash location, nor the fact whether this pilot survived the crash are known to me.

Regards,
Dirk
