Re: Help with research -- RAF 169 Sqdn May 1944
Hi Dave,
Maybe you will be interested by the fate of the other aircraft involved in this mission (Haine-St-Pierre) which all crashed in Belgium :
Lanc III - TL-C/ME620 (35 Sqn) crashed at Estinnes-au-Val
Lanc III - LQ-W/ND347 (405 Sqn) crashed at Bon-Secours
Lanc III - LQ-D/ND587 (405 Sqn) crashed at Gallaix (by Lt. Marstaller)
Hali III - KW-A/LK798 (425 Sqn) crashed at Hoge/Walle (by Lt. Potthast)
Hali III - OW-J/MZ598 (426 Sqn) crashed at 2 km S.E. Tielt (by Lt. Fengler)
Hali III - SE-X/LK884 (431 Sqn) crashed at Rance (by Hptm. Schnaufer)
Hali III - SE-T/MZ521 (431 Sqn) crashed at Zwevezele (by Oblt. Greiner)
Hali III - QO-L/LW583 (432 Sqn) crashed at Posthoorn (by Hptm. Breves)
Hali III - QO-G/LW594 (432 Sqn) crashed at Grand-Reng (by Uffz. Beyer)
Maybe the Lancaster crashed at Bon-Secours was a victory of Uffz. Beyer too... Bon-Secours is not far from Leuze. Estinnes-au-Val is located between Mons and Charleroi (maybe another victory of Uffz. Beyer ?).
