BF501 Stirling Bits and Pieces

Hi everyone Iam looking for any small fragment of Stirling bomber Bf501 crashed in June 1943 near Kaggevinne Belgium.
This sovenier is not for my self but the brother of the pilot (Bud Hoey), also wondering if anyone has a picture of the crash site, or had ever talked to a witness.

Thanks

Hi Hindenburg,

This should ring a bell – you were instrumental in identifying part of that aircraft!

Already PM’d Anthony and will do my best to get him in touch with the gentleman who owns the piece and who is eager to find relatives of that Stirling’s crew. It’s a small world, isn’t it?

Rgds,

Walter
