Hi everyone I am researching the crash of KG2 Dornier 217 at Cheveley in Cambs for my forthcoming publication, a/c had been to Birmingham / Wolverhampton when it was hit by flak on its return flight. Crew all baled out and survived. A/C hit ground, slid along passing through Cheveleley Park boundary wall, and some oak trees (some of which still bear scars) and came to rest across Duchess Drive... I would be very interested to see if anyone knows the location of any existing crash scene photographs, or of U5+FP while it was based at Eindhoven or even crew photographs. I have tried all resouce pools I know of to no avail. Further details below, thanks all....Julian
