A place to find: Loss of G-4 WNr.15176
Hi Gents,
I'll be glad to find the place of this loss. Date 21 June 1943 in a time when 2(H)/14 was based at Reggio. I have two possibilities (two sources) "Meligne" or "Meligno" but I'm unable to find it on a map for it seems this place doesn't exist. Thanks for your help. Regards, Franck. |

Hello Franck,
in the Gen.Qu. loss return from 29 June 1943 item 81 is listed the loss location "southwest Moligno". Perhaps a typo for Molino, a place between Altolia and Briga in Sicily, west of Reggio. Regards Leo |

Thank you Leo. Knowing that I will check with my Sicilian friends about that "g"; perhaps a local accent. Regards, Franck. PS that's exactly what I was looking for |

PPS,
I'm relieved to know that Sicilia is still west of Reggio |

Hi Gents, Hi Leo,
Dear Leo, thanks to your suggestion and the help of that Sicilian friend I was talking about I, we, reached to the conclusion the said machine did crash at Briga Marina, i.e. on the beach. With the help of a photo, indeed. Regards, Franck. |
