13 may 1943: D520 MSN 466 crashes near Lourdes. Any info ?
good evening to you,
on 13 may 1943, a French Dewoitine 520, flown by a german pilot, crashed in "Jarret", a small village near Lourdes (South West of France). Pilot was killed. This aircraft had been built in 11/41, and was used as a trainer by the Luftwaffe (it was probably based in Tarbes). Has somebody anymore info about this aircraft ? his pilot ? Thank you in advance, best regards to all. GC |

UPDATE : 13 may 1943: D520 MSN 466 crashes near Lourdes. Any info ?
by crosschecking with other correspondants, it would appear that the aircraft was in fact S/N 486 (and not 466) and the date 3 June 1943.
Would this help trace more infos ? Thanks GC |

hi Barkas, sorry for late answer, I am travelling.
No I did not find the crash site but I know somebody who may know it. So I hope to be able to trace it. Therefore, so far, no parts found (and no paint). Maybe in spring time I shall try to do something. Bregards Gilles |
