Re: Spitfire NH464 - crashlanding 16 Nov 1944 - Belgium

Reread the written accident report a couple of times more. The more 'fluent' the handwriting, the harder it is to read sometimes... Anyways result for Spitfire and pilot stays the same.

Pilot had not examined the F100 (?) card before signing otherwise he would have known that long range tank was full....
After engine cut he then did not trouble to ascertain if drop tank was filled. Did not remember if warning light showed before engine failure.

Regards,
Leendert
