Thanks!
Kappeln is on the border to Denmark - very far from the crash place I mentioned, which is some 40-45 km west of the river Rhein (in German), so the first one is the one I'm looking for. Do you know the type of the a/c?

The city Rheine is in the far NW of Germany near the Dutch border located about 300 km North of Kaiserslautern and is EAST of the river Rhine. So I don't think this is the place You are looking for.

Rheine an der Ems, of course! So stupid of me to think first of Rhein ( I spell it allways in German, bad habit). Thanks for your remark!

Alles Gute!

Sorry, I have no further information about these planes.
Maybe some day there will be an article in "Flugzeug Classic" or a similar paper. Who knows...
