Cachats WW2 German Aircraft

Will do Adrian, I need to delete some others first.

Any chance, BTW, you could re-post the photo of the farmers on the other thread?

Ta,

You are probably right the 416th moved to an Airfield in France in October 1944.

No joy with the other one, though. Still think it might be in France (he says, waiting to be proven wrong!).

Adrian

Well Done, we can tag it on the Website now 🙂

This one has to be somewhere in East Anglia – I’ll try to see if Dad recognises where: http://www.416th.com/CachatPhotos/jpg050/j050_874.jpg

Got it!

Capt Fran Cachat photographer of the 416th Bomb Group, RAF Wethersfield has 900 photos from 1944/45 on the Internet at http://www.416th.com/CachatPhotos/Cachat_416thBG_Photos.html

I thought you would find this one interesting to discuss.

Looks like a Sibel Si-104 or 204 in background.

I’ll see what I can do, though my first thought was that it’s in France – I’ve never seen anything like it locally.

Adrian if he does let me know so we can tag it. Most of the Wethersfield ones were identified by me. There is one of a mansion I think must be near by the base will see if I can find it. 9th AAF HQ was at Marks Farm Braintree just thought it might that. Will add the link when I find it.

Also Stuart? From the farm on the east might find the ww2 crash he thinks may have happened in his field, top one in crashes is Sugarlane Farm.

In the aerial photo section of Frans Page the first 4 are Knettishall, Fersfield, Great Ashfield and Ridgewell, all taken during a training flight on April 8 1944, two days before 9699 was lost.

Out of the 900 photos I’m always drawn to this one, I must ask Fran what this was about.
