I gathered that both US Army divisions of XIX Corps (2nd Armored and 30th Infantry) already had moved from Belgian Limburg province well into the southern part of Dutch Limburg by that time.

If I recall correctly, the question of an 'Auster' on 18 Sept 1944 was raised before on TOCH, but the thread was lost due to one of this site's major hiccups.

British AOP No. 653, 658 and 662 Squadrons in the area record no incidents indeed.

US divisions involved in just started Market Garden (82nd and 101st AB) only received their Cubs after 18 Sept.

The possibility of the 'friendly' shoot down of a straying German Storch was also discussed (as far as my memory goes), but no corresponding loss known (?).
