Re: Loss of 487 Sqn Mosquito 22 Feb 45
Good day Chris !
You may gain additional information by the LGK documents 13260/68 (Mosquito 1315 hrs 1 1/2 km N of Bevern) and 132361/66 (Mosquito 1315 hrs 2 1/2 km N of Bevern). The "132361" may be an error, but it is printed like this originally in the catalogue of the LGK-reports for this particular day. Best regards ! Horst Weber
