Re: Crash location. Lancaster LM-581.
Hi,
check the google map based on this info: https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/50397 Aircraft came down on the Tongeren estate and hamlet, approx. 4 km. West of Epe, thus North of Apeldoorn, in Gemeente Epe, Province of Gelderland. https://www.google.cz/maps/place/816...56!4d5.9221458 http://www.teunispats.nl/t3773.htm FAenor |
