Hi everybody,

I am the french who found the remains of the aircraft. The only one in my opinion who knew the date is deceased. But, I am trying to consult the archive of my town with the help of my neighbor who has access to it.

I hope to be able to consult them and get more informations on this date

Regards

... So ... JGr.West or EJGr.West ???

Thanks to Matti data, I have been able to sort out 4 A/C:

The one which was found may be one of these, let us hope the date of the crash will be found, we then will have the answer.

Surely actual mention of Fl.Pl Cazaux (La Teste de Buch?) excludes first 3 and last one would indicate a crash-landing; does evidence support this?
