Just to be clear.

You are asking about a WW2 crash of a Curtiss C-46 Commando?

Re: c46 crash sussex

Chinook,

Perhaps you refer to a C-46 crash in April 1945.

I remember that I once opened a thread on armyairforces.com about it: see
http://forum.armyairforces.com/313-T...s-m154368.aspx

Regards,

Leendert

I do have full reports of a number of different incidents in Sussex that may relate to what you are looking for.

Certainly there are incidents at Wilmington (East Sussex) that may be what you seek - but why/what points you towards Wilmington?

Spitfire serial is a bit unclear still (possibly ML232) the 'Dakota' has been identified as actually C-46 Commando 44-77604. May 10th 1945

Google 44-77604

To all: the Spitfire & C-46 collision was also discussed on 12 o'clock high before.
