I also found an old email from a Belgian contact who also confirms the crash site in the vicinity of Lautenne, 4km SSE of Florennes. For ClinA-78: Can you post a map or coordinates of the precise crash site? Did you find any part numbers/data plates that could identify the ship (e.g. engine serial numbers, gun serial numbers)?
Hello Gary,

I am the Belgian guy
here is : 50°12'18.11''N 4°40'49.72''E (at Lautenne or even Lotenne)
(Why I am still unable to post a picture, except from a URL ???)

Indeed this is a 'flat' crash, as he was on approach from SE toward A-78. Only little bits and rocky soil.

Best regards.
