    He was shot down at night on 13 March 1941 over Jipsinghuizen, East-Netherlands.
    My schoolmate used to tell me about airplane remnants they found in his backgarden.
    I was told a bomb dropped from the Wellington landed on the house I lived in, killing some pigs and maybe a girl. Though there was a big hole in the floor, I doubt this is true.
