This is fantastic feedback gents…thank you.

The newspaper clipping is superb.

Their was an eye witness in my village (Kedington) who sadly died before having the chance to pinpoint the crash site for me. I have a rough idea though. Hopefully will find other villagers that remember the incident.

Thanks again chaps.

Aviart,

Oh ok. I thought from what you were saying you had confirmation that the Wimbish Dornier was indeed 3358. I too have seen the werk number sequence and agree theres a good possibility that 3358 IS the werk number.

Another good sign is the way the number has been stamped on the plate. As this manufacturer was not responsible for final assembly, I would have thought that if they were to add this, being a part number, it would have been included as the other details are, in a specific area of the data plate. The fact that on mine “3358” has been stamped randomly, possibly at a later date, could suggest it was added during final assembly which would add even more to the werk number theory?

What would be interesting is to know what part this plate would have been attached too, because if it was a major part this would also add weight to the argument?

Cheers

Richard

Aviart,

That’s fab news….thanks. Where did you get your info from regarding 3358 as it’s not listed in the BOB then and now.

Adrian, very interesting story. Wonder if they were from the same crew?

Cheers

Richard

Hi Peter,

No, there’s no part number that I can see.

Another shot.
