Re: Research help

Hello Robert,

Small correction to the info posted by bigvern1966 above: the place name is OEGSTGEEST. Can't blame anyone, Dutch names can be confusing in writing down. Apart from that the claim was made at 15.22 hrs.

Other matching losses:
04.07.40 Blenheim L8866 18 Sqdn
16.07.40 Blenheim P6933 18 Sqdn
18.07.40 Blenheim R3661 53 Sqdn
20.07.40 Blenheim R3738 110 Sqdn
30.07.40 Blenheim R3764 15 Sqdn
01.08.40 Blenheim R3898 114 Sqdn (Eckerle's claim)

02.08.40 Blenheim attacked but escaped, identity unknown and not found in The National Archives, London. Probably 40 or 114 Squadron.

Best regards,
Hans Nauta
