Re: Looking for: RAF fighter crash at Wesendorf Airfield / Germany in 1946 or 1947?

Rüdiger,

The CWGC website mentions two RAF pilots who were killed during 1946 and are buried at Celle War Cemetery.
They are F/O George A. Cook of 16 Squadron (had Spitfires at that time) with date 15-2-1946 and W/O (Pilot) Norman Dixon on 27-4-1946.

Flight Magazine in its Aug. 29, 1946 issue states that Cook was killed on active service.

So far I haven't found if these men were involved in flying accidents, but it may be start.

Regards,

Leendert
