This aircraft was tasked to drop supplies to partisans near Diest at position 51.03 North 05.34 East. However, the mission was not accomplished and it seems probable that this was the aircraft seen by another crew to be shot down in position 51.46 North 05.34 East.
Crew as listed above.

Peter,
the reference of the crash site is interesting because my grandmother thought that the plane had gone down on land - which is where 51.03 North 05.34 East is according to Google earth. Official records as sketchy as they are indicate that the plane was seen in flames off the coast of Holland or Belgium.
It will be interesting to see if anyone else weighs in on this.
Regards
Jeff
