Re: 12/05/1940: 815 Sqdn Swordfish loss over Waalhaven
According to Hans Onderwater the Swordfish force-landed on 12/05/1940 in polder Oud Herkingen, near Herkingen on the isle of Overflakkee, on a field called 'de Munnik', owned by the Kardux brothers. The crew evaded via Antwerp to Ramsgate.
With thanks to Allert Goossens of War over Holland, who sent me this information.

Re: 12/05/1940: 815 Sqdn Swordfish loss over Waalhaven
Regarding the mail on the timing in the different countries in May 1940, I think you made a mistake:
Germany: GMT+2 (summer time) Belgium: GMT+1 France: GMT+1 UK: GMT+1 (summer time) Netherlands: GMT+20 min So if you take the zone of Belgium, France and the UK as the reference, Germany was 1 hour ahead and Holland 40 minutes behind in time. Regards, Pieter
