23/09/1945 44-80185 L4J crash in Belgium
Hi !
On 23/09/1945 44-80185 Piper L4J Grasshopper of HQ 98 Bombers Wing crashed in an orchard during the dropping of a memorial wreath at Chateau De Beauffert (according to the Form 14) or Chateau de Millmont (according to the report made by the pilot, 1Lt.Clifford A.Stodghill O-680537), due to engine failure. Did the plane crash at Chateau de Mielmont (https://www.mielmont.be/) at Onoz (Jemeppe-sur-Sambre) as I can’t find neither mentioned in the reports ? Many thanks and best regards Luc Last edited by Luc Vervoort; 24th December 2021 at 12:15. Reason: The date is 23/9/1945 not 30/09/1945

Hello Luc,
This was at Château de Mielmont, according an article of 26 Sept 1945 in the Vers l'Avenir newspaper, with the compliments of BelgicaPress on kbr.be I'll send you a print screen thru private mail. Lt Clifford Stodghill was a wartime B-26 pilot. Prettige feestdagen, Leendert
