Re: Mureaux in Holland?

I found no Mureux lost in Holland in the book "Ils étaient là". At this stage of the war, the Potez 63.11 was the main aircraft used by the GAO and both GAO 501 and 552 lost one of them on 13 May.
Potez 63.11 n° 297 GAO 501 shot down by 9 Bf 109s at Oirschot, near Eindhoven, in the evening (3 KIA). It seems to me it was the only GAO aircraft lost over Holland.
Potez 63.11 n° 689 GAO 552 hit by Flak, crashed on return at 3km from the airfield of Saint-Nicolas, Belgium (3 KIA).

Only 5 Mureaux were lost during the campaing of May-June 1940
_ n° 42 of GAO 544 shot down by Flak on 12 May in the Ardennes, crew
unhurt
_ n° 35 of GAO 553 shot down by Bf 109s at 16h00 on 12 May, unknown location, but unit based in Nancy. It was porbably the Mureaux claimed at 17h15 east of Zabern by Fw Willi Gasthaus of 4./JG 51.
_ n° 57 and 91 of GAO 501 shot down during transfer flight over the Somme by German fighters, 1 KIA, 3 WIA. They were claimed by Ltn Ludwig Franzisket (4th kill) and Ltn Erwin-Günter Mann (3rd kill) of 1./JG 1
_ a Mureaux 115 of GAO 518 was badly hit by Bf 109 and force-landed near Nevers. Both crew wounded

May your crashed plane be a Fox or Firefly from the Belgian airforce rather than a French aircraft ?
