Re: looking for the Wnr of the He177 crashed on 22 July 1944

Yes Nick, I do have this book from Pierre Babin (a really excellent book, indeed, but in French) ;
If D7+BK was found in Bordeaux by the Allies, then this very registration (D7+BK) cannot the one of Labmayer's aircraft, which crashed on take off at Mont de Marsan on 22 July 1944 (it is Labmayer's aircraft the remains of which I recently found);
Thanks for your link with information on He177.

Brian, that is correct, Labmayer was the pilot of that He177 that crashed on 22 July 1944.
It was only his second operational mission... Refer to Pierre Babin's book on this aircraft and his crew, the full story is in this book "Wekusta 2".

Thanks you to both of you.
