Re: F/L P Henrichsen (128628, RAFVR), 332 (N) Sqn
Hello Mikkel,
Vol.3 of "2nd TAF" (Shores/Thomas) has MK720/D shot down by a fighter aircraft, estimated time 07.45 hrs.
Two pilots of JG27 claimed Spitfires shot down at this time in the Bocholt - Coesfeld - Mönchengladbach area, while shortly afterwards Uffz Günther Rey of 14./JG26 claimed another, also in the Mönchengladbach area.
Henrichsen being buried in the Reichswald Forest War Cemetery near Kleve, Germany, may have been shot down in the Bocholt - Coesfeld area. Shot down in the Mönchengladbach area would mean that his reburial after the hostilities might have been in the Rheinberg War Cemetery.
Henrichsen's unit was not based at B.79 Woensdrecht (NL), however on B.85 Schijndel (NL); he took off 07.15 hrs and was shot down about 30 minutes later (short distance between Schijndel and Bocholt).
Regards,
Henk.
