    Hello,

    I am researching this a/c for a very long time now and last year we found(at last) the crashsite in the middle of a wooded area near Oostelbeers. I am also in touch with the relatives of the entire crew except F/S R.I Stewart. He came from East Camberwell,Victoria, Australia so if there is anyone who can help me with my search that would be wonderfull.

    Regards,
    Adrian van Zantvoort
