Re: RAF Dakota loss Sept-Oct 1944
Laurent,
Locally no Dakota loss known near Knokke in Sept 44. But is is indeed worth to note that at that time (Sept 44) the Germans still held a small corner of NW Belgium, with Knokke only liberated in the first days of Nov 44 (Operation Switchback). Circumstances may therefore coincide with Rolland's suggestion of the Dakota straying into harm's way over Dunkirk. At Adegem Canadian Cemetery, roughly between Brugge and Gent, rest many soldiers from a wide area around, especially from the Battle for the Scheldt. KG512 a candidate still, only cause of loss to be established. Regards, Leendert |
