1944 RAF loss Beckum (Germany)

Dear all,



in a short german newspaper clip (Glocke, 1998)



http://www.heimatverein-beckum.de/fi...a%20meldet.pdf


it is stated that in 1944 a RAF a/c was downed 2.6 miles east/north-east to the city of D-59269 Beckum at location 'Flimmerberg' near 'Stromberger Strasse' road.

The author states that he remembers the "pilot's"' coffin at the
hospital morgue.


Any hints to which RAF a/c was downed near Beckum ?


22/23.03.1944 Lancaster ND672 RAF 49 Sqn EA-U
seems a possibility. However, this one crashed at 'Keitlinghausen'
almost 2 more miles north-east from 'Flimmerberg'.





thank you kindly !


FrankieS
