You're Top Poster: #2   | Welcome, Mike! I see you're referring to the ORB entry on the second scan Kyt posted above. Not sure what the C52 means as I haven't had a lot of exposure to ORBs. Could it be a grid reference perhaps as to suspected location? I found some reference but it's pretty tenuous, from 1940 and appears to relate to a document: Claude Lionel Geoffrey Hood RAFVR of 77 Squadron Quote:

You're Top Poster: #144  | Hi Zwolle, All the information you are looking for can be found in the book "Zij Vielen Rondom Zwolle" (They Fell Around Zwolle") by J.L. Schotman. Published by the IJsselacademie, Kampen 2001. ISBN 90-6697-121-1 It is a book about all the crashes around Zwolle 1940-1945. Certainly worth picking up. It is a good book with great pictures. The author did great research here. |

You're Top Poster: #3 | Good info Steve. Welcome to the forum!
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
