Sadly the book is not in my archive 😮

Hi all,

does someone know if Douglas has used the same inspector stamp on the B-17 and C-47 they has build ?

On a crash site was found a part with a typical Douglas inspector stamp with “##RW” (see photo). We are not sure if this part comes from a B-17, or a C-47

Here a link to more parts:

Yes, this is correct. That´s why I has written “this information could be a trace“. It´s not my first crash site, I have researched over 50 before 😉

Ok, this information could be a trace. The heading to the crash site we found is correct…

Just received a message from a friend. He has found a eyewitness who has seen as young boy the crash. The fighter should be downed by a flak on a railway wagon. He told now, the crash was between December 1944 and the end of the war, but more probably at May 1945 😮
I will try to make a list of downed Spitfires and KIA Pilots in this area during this time. Maybe someone can help ?

Thanks again for all your great help guys !

All the best from Kiel

Five miles are not enough. The distance to Hamburg is 10-12 miles…
Do you have details about the crash of Bouck ?

Thanks for the details and correction !

The village “Goelesen” and “Brabow” are not known in Germany, I think it is not correct written. Woltersdorf is too far away from Elmshorn…

The crash site we found is in a area of some small farms between “Bullendorf” “Altenmoor” and “Kibitzreihe”. Elmshorn is 2 kilometers away. The liitle village “Klostersande” is 3 kilometers south of Bullendorf. All other villages are too small for a mension in a report…
If you take a look on google-earth, you can see the area around Bullendorf (2 kilometers west of Elmshorn).

Spit XVI, SM242 of 421 RCAF Sqn. Lost north of Hamburg on 19 April 1945. Fg Off A G Scott killed.

In my database the pilot of SM242 was F/O A.G.S. Colt. He was buried at first in the near of the town “Mölln”, area of “Ratzeburg”.

I use a lot of missing reports or MACR for my research and often the last location where a pilot was seen, will mistaken with the real crash site.
About SM242 I think the report “North of Hamburg” is the last location he was seen from other a/c.
