Whitley P4955 lost 16/17 August 1940, crash location sought.
Hello all,
I am looking for some assistance on the above request please, and hope some of our Dutch colleagues especially can help. Whitley P4955 'ZA-G' of 10 Squadron RAF was damaged by flak over Leuna during the night of 16/17 August 1940. It was crash-landed near Breda in the Netherlands. I have seen two particular towns or villages mentioned, Zevenbergen 12 km north-west of Breda and Rijsbergen 10 km. south-west of Breda. Which is correct, as both are some distance apart ? I have come across three photos of P4955 after it was crash-landed using Google but no caption to help. I also have checked a good website on aircraft crashes in the Netherlands but unfortunately cannot open the page on P4955, assuming there is one to open. Any assistance appreciated. Regards, Martin Gleeson. |
