: Hi all,
:
: Last saturday we spent the day searching for the location
: where an intruder Mosquito crashed in the IJsselmeer. The
: location was finally found, a full investigation will be
: carried out during the early months of 2002.
:
: The pilot of the Mossie was the son of Arthur Whitten-Brow
: n of Atlantic Crossing 1919-fame. During the late seventie
: s a propeller was brought up by the anchor of a sailing bo
: at and fishermen bring up 20-mm rounds in their nets regul
: arly.
:
: We also have leads that in the same area there should be a
: nother Mossie as well as a Messerschmitt 110 nightfighter.
: Looks like we are going to have a busy summer next year.
