Spitfire/C-47 mid-air Ashford, 10 April 1945

Hi All:

Please excuse my ignorance if this has been covered elsewhere, but I have received an enquiry from Dutch researcher John Hey MBE asking for info on a collision between a Spitfire and a C-47/Dakota in the area of Ashford, Kent, on 10 April 1945. John has suggested the C-47 may have been returning Allied PoWs from France or Germany.

A URL, a clarification or any 'hard' facts on the incident would be welcome.

Regards,

BC
