Can someone tell me more about an allied fighter what was shot down by a German plane on december 24th 1944 near the village of Andel/Poederoijen (south of Gorinchem) in the south of Holland. I have been told that this and other allied fighters were on an attack at the bridge across river Meuse on that spot. The plane I am looking for crashed near the Wilhelminasluis. For sure the plane had one engin and I have been told with a Belgian pilot. Unknown is what happened to the pilot.

Imho there is no crash on the date mentioned. But maybe there is some mix-up with December 12th, 1944 when Typhoon MN150 of 609 Sqdn which was piloted by the Belgian Lt Parthoens R.J. crashed near Almkerk. Parthoens was kia.

No, Raymond Parthoens is not the pilot I am looking for. The plane I mean is crashed in december 1944. It is not certain that the pilot was from Belgium, any nationality is possible, but it have to be a crashed plne at the end of december.

It now seems possible that the date is wrong, it could be december 25 1944. That rings a bell?
