Thanx!

I'm a bit of a beginner in airwar affairs but does this mean that the plain is shot down or crashed through technical diffuculties?

Ray,

It just shows a crash on an operational flight (Feindflug ) rather than a non-operatinal one ( Heimat flight ). As it was by Eindhoven looks like a crash on takeoff or landing , no enemy action noted,

aalst-waalre is nog so far from eindhoven
i think about 5 miles from the old german airfield to aalst waalre

[xraymmx]

Welschap was the closest airport. I gues about 10 km away indeed.

[ron_Ra]

the old airport is not there any more
i live close to is
also living close to the cemetery of eindhoven were a lot of the killed
airmen are burried
the german are burried in Ysselstein(L) i think

[xraymmx]

That's right.
I live closeby too.

I found the german graves (except one) indeed in Ysselstijn.
