B.F.M. Droog is on a distinguished road
Fox, 1/I/1, Belgian Air Force, 23 or 24/05/1940

Who can tell me more about this crash, the exact type of plane, the fate of the third crew member (and the missing or not status of the two other crew):

Type: Fox
Serial number: ?, O-41
Unit: 1/I/1
Mission: Patrol Kortrijk-Harelbeke (Courtrai-Harelbeke)
Lost:
23 or 24/05/1940

Sgt (Pilot) Jacobus Degreef, pilot, MIA
Cpt M. Keuleers, observer, KIA or MIA
Van Groeten, ?
Based at Stene. Crashed in North Sea off Belgium - other sources state Harelbeke as crash location.
Sgt de Greef is remembered at Ereperk Evere, Brussels; grave 24. Date of death given: 23/05/1940.
Cpt M. Keuleers is remembered at Ereperk Evere, Brussels; grave 25. Date of death given: 23/05/1940.

One of my problems with this crash is that a number of graves at Erepark Evere are empty - as remembrance to missing aircrew.

Regards,

Bart
