Hi Alain,

the Information over KO-S could be interesting, because their is no town named wher it crashed.
The second clue is where the crew-members were buried - Reichwald War Cemetery

In the parts wich where found, were some french or belge munts - could this help??

Greetings

Bernd

Hi Bernd

Don't think the plane is K-OS, as only the pilot was killed.....

"DS764 took part in the following Key Operations: Hannover 18/19Oct43; Berlin 18/19Nov43; Berlin 22/23Nov43-Lost When lost this aircraft had a total of 89 hours.

Sgt Smith, who was found still at the controls of his crashed aircraft, is buried in the Reichswald Forest War Cemetery. Sgt Deakin landed heavily and was taken to hospital with fractures of both thighs. Cause of loss and crash-site not established. Sgt H.Smith KIA Sgt E.Miller PoW Sgt F.C.Downs PoW Sgt R.Strong PoW Sgt C.Deakin PoW Sgt J.H.Ferguson RCAF PoW Sgt T.H.Scotchmer RCAF PoW Sgt C.Deakin was interned, presumably with no pre-Hospitalisation, in Camps L6/L4/L1.
