    I just went through some photos taken to document my finds on DZ A. I found these parts mostly in the 1980... What does this typeplate tell us about the Horsa it belonged to?

    And this piece features some sort of socket for a plug: Holz mit Anschlussteil-RS.JPG

    It is about 10 inches x 5 inches...

    Excellent,
    I’m sure there must be a record of serial numbers somewhere?

    Ellern aerial.png The site of the find suggests that someone probably piled up Horsa parts there and set them on fire... found quite a bit of burnt material was there, too. A farmer cleared his field probably. It is not the actual crash site or landing site of a Horsa.

    There is a booklet by former forum member Philip Reinders on Arnhem glider tags, not sure if you can somehow get access to a copy, not sure what info it contains. I have it in mind that the serial number is the glider number and the numbers below are added when a modification is made - I'm sure I've seen a thread on them on another forum but can't recall where

    I'd also suggest dropping a note to the Glider Collection Wofheze Glider Museum – Wolfheze, the Netherlands

    Given the state of my eyesight nowadays I'm still none the wiser, but I think the answer may be within here somewhere (hoping that one of you eagle-eyed folks may crack it)

    Kind regards, always,

    Jim.

    Dag Alberk,

    ik ben al een tijdje op zoek naar luchtfoto’s van na de landing van operatie varsity en nou zie ik dat jij een foto hebt. Zou je mij verder kunnen helpen?

    hoor graag.

    groet,
    Harry

    Dag Harry,
    ik ben Duitser - ik weet niet veel van de Nederlandse taal... mar ik will et wel proberen.
    Ok - ga na de website.
    Germany | NCAP - National Collection of Aerial Photography

    Wand je de heel service wilt, moet je en abonnement maken en betalen - ik denk ca. 20 of 25 Britse Pound. Ik weet et niet mer so precies.
    Mar ik heb en abonnement voor deze website en met deze abonnement kan ik de fotos zoomen. Er is en serie van luchtfoto's van den 25te Mars 1945. Je moet in het zoekveld deze code zoeken:
    US33/2603

    Is er en specific areal dat je wilt zien?
    Viele Grüße
    Alex
