Spitfire accident records of 65 and 257 RAF Sqns

[Marcellus]

David,
VoyTech,
thanks both for the update. Mrtvy's RAFVR number was indeed 78787. I have the book 'Czechs in the RAF' and I have pictures of the crash when he was in 313 Sqn to which you are refering to.
Why I am doing this?
Well, the BEL institute for veterans wants to bring back memories of Allied soldiers who died on Belgian soil to live through a facebook page. As most are taking USA, Commonwealth and Belgian soldiers, airmen, etc I wanted to emphasise that a lot of other nations have made the ultimate sacrifice.
I am just starting to put all the bits and pieces together with great help out of the Czech Republic. I am planning to come back to the forum to find out more details on RAMROD 753 to Malines Marshalling area on 19.04.1944 and trying to find out why he was shot down approx 35 to 40 Km behind the bombing area? Still escorting bombers on the way back??

Cheers and thanks again,

Marc
