I suspect Karg was in DE826 Membury Membury [USAAF] Cr

The aircraft was repaired - so Crash maybe crash landing - Membury would match for Wiltshire hospital

Note Rowton Hall (not Hill)

Hello Dennis,
Any ideas as to why it is that I cannot access the Henk link you so kindly provided nore the Irish Accident list either. Is it to do with Skynet.ie ?

Hello Ross,
Thanks for the reply.
I expect that your reference for your answer is the F1180 ?
How does one get hold of those and from where ?
