Dutch Meteor Collision 10.07.52 at Baarn, Netherlands
2 aircraft part of 8 from Leeuwarden to Soesterberg collided at Baarn, Netherlands
They were being flown by 2 Sgt 22 year old Pilots: Cornelis 'Kees' Groenendijk and Jan de Nijs The aircraft were Gloster Meteor F.8 I-135 and I-136 de Nijs left wing hit the tail of Groenendijk aircraft and this detached. Both pilot ejected http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/47509 http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/47510 Can anyone tell me what Sqn they were in ? and which pilot was flying which aircraft ? This maybe could be determined if it could be established what one lost its tail If you can read Dutch (which I cannot!), the story is covered well here https://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/re...&redirect=true |
