[gilles collaveri]

I am looking for information or pictures about this aircraft or its crew:

This FW200 C-3/U2 from 9./KG 40 crashed on 8 June 1943 north of Toulouse after an engine inboard fire.

The aircraft was flying loaded with bottles, garments etc.. when an engine took fire; The burning engine fell in a river shortly before landing (fierce fire!), the aircraft clipped trees and crashed in a field.

All crew was alive (list here under) though hurt, and one crew died the next day.

Any information about this machine and his crew is welcome;
