Re: Seeking confirmation of location of Bf109E loss 11.40 on beach at Ostende, Belgium
Hello,
Luc has it! This is the lightship "Wandelaar" beached at Ostende (Ostend?). In our EoE Luft loss DB this is presently: "November 6, 1940: 4./JG51 Messerschmitt Bf109E-1 (6091). Crash-landed at Ostend damaged in combat. Pilot unhurt. Aircraft White 8 + 20% damaged but repairable." I'm sure that this will now undergo some minor revisions once Peter Cornwell has a chance to look at this. Jochen Prien was the source of the original info on the possible location of this photo. If anyone can now give us a more exact location on the beach from these photos, the time of the incident and (very long shot) the name of a pilot, that would nail this one for us. Well, this answers one of my three questions from Sunday. I hope that we have as good luck on answering the other two. Regards,
