Re: Plane Crash Dötlingen April 4, 1945
Perhaps a possibility would be F/O PETER ASHFORTH HALLIWELL (163147), a new pilot in 274 squadron. He was flying Tempest V NV660 and was lost in the area of "Bremen" on April 4, 1945. That day the squadron flew two armed recce's in what they called the "Northern Area". They were attacking trains and during one attack Halliwell flew so low he struck a locomotive and supposedly knocked it off the tracks. His plane disintegrated. That description of the crash might help rule him "in or out" as a possibility.
