Re: Operation Bodenplatte
Hi Alain,
I believe I know a little bit about Bodenplatte but I don't recall to ever have seen that number. Where did you get it? What is your source? Where did it crash? cheers, John. |

Re: Operation Bodenplatte
Hi John ,
I got this "info" from a friend some years ago. According to his information the aircraft came down near the village of Ulbeek , 10 km north of Sint-Truiden ( A-92 airfield ) , it seems that the pilot was ok.Further to this info the wreckage or parts of it were found ( excavated ) on 15/16 december 1990. Greetings Alain St-Truiden Belgium |

Re: Operation Bodenplatte
It's the following loss;
Bf 109G-14/AS, WNr. 461200, gelbe 13, 15./JG 4 Ofhr. Arnolf Russow, born 18.06.1924, POW Crashed near Ulbeek, NE St.Trond. the number 1142 comes from a data plate and is not the werknummer plate. That was found too with the number 461200. cheers, John |
