16 Sqdn Spitfire PL896 crash 20Sept1944
Hello there!
This aircraft, piloted by 147035 F/O John Robert Brodby flew out of RAF Northolt on a photo reconnaissance mission. I'm looking to confirm the crash site, which was mistakenly given as 148-150 Dorpsstraat, Hees, Nijmegen and has since been given both as 158-160 Dorpsstraat, Hees, Nijmegen and as 158-160 Dorpsstraat, Neerbosch, Nijmegen. Links to another's research… http://www.oorlogsdodennijmegen.nl/g...beurtenisID=13 http://www.oorlogsdodennijmegen.nl/p....asp?odID=3259 The 16 Sqdn ORBs for 20 Sept 1944 don't call this a Spitfire 'IX', unlike the pink PL834 shot down near Wolfheze the same day. Thanks for any help you're able to offer!

Sorry, that should have read:
"The 16 Sqdn ORBs for 20 Sept 1944 don't call this a Spitfire 'XI', unlike the pink PL834 shot down near Wolfheze the same day."

Another correction: F/O Brodby's service number was 174035 (d'oh!)…
