First of all, can it be confirmed that he claimed Lancaster DV401 on the night 2/3 January 1944.
Second, does anyone know which airplane he flew. Probaby a 110 from NJG1 based at Leeuwarden, but could the code letters be found out?
Third, a picture would be very interesting.
Lastly, does anyone know what happened to him? All I can find online is that there are 18 victories to his name.
I know this sounds very much like a demands list, but I'm trying to be specific and brief. Any information anyone might have would be extremely welcome.
