I have Dienst? A list of Dutch crashes for this day has Strijensas, 30km NW West Capelle and in the sea off Zoutelande

Alain,

As suggested elsewhere, Dienst should be read as Diest, but this is some 35 km from Eksel....
Instead, read https://www.luchtvaartgeschiedenis.b...j-leopoldsburg and this is closer to Eksel.

Perhaps also see http://rutten.org/literatuur/mathieu...rkante-feiten/ about air losses in BE-Limburg.

SGLO database and Wingstovictory website give details about the Blenheim losses in the Netherlands that day.

Groet,
Leendert

Heelo ,

Thank you all for your help , so we can assume that the crashsite was the Netherlands.

Not quite, Alain. Please refer to links in my post #3. V6423 at/near Leopoldsburg (Eksel?), several more Blenheims over Dutch territory and off coast.
