Re: Photos Airco

That's true.

The back of the photos say B7661 came down at "Ouitkerke" this is probably Uitkerke where FlgMt. Wagner (MFJ1) claimed a DH; must be this one not B7604. MFJ1 was at Coolkerke (Bruges) in May and the target was also a Marine airfield.
According to the Grub St. books the second DH was claimed by Sachsenberg near Mariakerke close to Ostend but obviously got home though force-landed. There was certainly some serious AA in the coastal areas.
Very nice photos too (Clint must be pleased to see a good clear serial).
