In the night of 21th/22nd june 1944 this Lancaster crashed in the Biesbosch in Holland, some 30 km N of Breda. Five men of the crew were taken POW, one was killed and buried in Werkendam, one is still missing. My question : does anybody know on what bridge P/O Hingley landed and were he was taken for a hospital. Also where the five survivors were taken as a POW. My last question: the plane was shot down by a night-fighter. Anybody knows which German pilot it was?

Both LT Hans Schaefer and Hptm Adolf Breves claim 4 engined victories that night in the Tilburg-Breda area. Danny

Thank you for your message, but I knew those two names. It leaves however a 50% chance. Can you specify it maybe?
