Re: 5.JG26 Fw Borreck
Hello,

The 'new' version of this 'famous' combat will appear in the new JG 26 chronicle by E. Mombeek and J-L Roba... one more reason to buy it when published.
Hi Régis! Still alive and kicking?
Borreck seemed to have crash-landed, maybe at Brustem airfield?

Best regards

Hi Clin A-78

Any chance of an indication of what this new information reveals, or what the new source is?

I have an interest due to 41 Squadron's involvement.

Thanks
Steve
