And another victim of Bergen Airfield... most of the planes crashed north of this location

Lancaster Prop

And the text on the plate... the flight engineer was the only one who could use his parachute. According to local legend parts of the parachute still survive as part of a lamp shade.

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Bergen Airfield had Bf109s, FW109s and was a support field for Me110s.
They had a Ju-52 with magnetic ring minesweeper

Whole operation cleaned up in 1944
