Country:  | Well, what can I say? Thank you so much for the warm welcome, this is clearly the place to be.
Seesul: I'd love that link for your museum! I'm impressed you are in contact with Herr Reschke, he must be...86 years old now? How is he? From his combat history I'd say pretty indestructable!
Rochie: I'm from Rochester in Kent mate.
Trackend: I'm Network Rail working in Victoria Area Signalling Centre for the Trust Delay Department, just finished a beautiful week of night shift.. *yawn*
Once again thanks to you all for the welcome, time for me to get some sleep and I'll be back soon. | |

Once again thanks to you all for the welcome, time for me to get some sleep and I'll be back soon. | Here you go:
links to the museums: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...blic-9884.html (August 29,1944- museum in Slavicin, Czech Republic) http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...blic-9882.html (August 29,1944- museum in Sanov, Czech Republic)
As for Willi Reschke- after I´ve found out he shot down one of B-17´s on August 29, 1944 and then crash landed very close to my born town I started searching for him. Found his address, got in touch with him, visited him in Germany, then he visited us here and saw his crash landing spot after 62 years again and last year we visited him in Germany again along with my friend Joe that was shot down on the mentioned day, maybe by Willi...you never know...
Here few links: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...44-a-9055.html (Willi Reschke´s G-?, August 29th,1944) http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...ears-9298.html (Willi Reschke & Joe Owsianik -meeting after 63 years) Warbird Photo Album - Willi Reschke

Country: | That's mighty impressive Seesul. Willi is looking good for his age, the fire still burns eh?
At the moment I seem to be off on a tangent investigating the Canterbury raid of October 31st 1942 by 10.(Jabo)/JG26. Canterbury is not far from where I live so there's a little local interest there. Does anyone have any information about this mission? | |

As for you question - think Erich is the right person to answer it...hope he will read this post...

Country:  | Welcome Max! I like to stay out of people's way! 
I posted an excerpt from Caldwell's book on that raid. Hope its what you're looking for.
Pb is another good guy here Max, if you're into the Luftwaffe. He keeps an eye on Marseilles Bf 109.
