Forwarded message - From: Dave Poissant
2TAF MBA Members:
The note below is from Everard Bakker of The Netherlands; the crew they are commemorating, and looking for images of, is that of VO-Y serial FW211 of 98 Sqn, 25 Sep 44:
P/O S. Harrison (Pilot)F/O G.R. Munton (Observer)F/S H.M. Nottle (Wireless Op/Air Gunner)F/S R.G. Taylor (Air Gunner)
All were KIA that operation except for F/S Taylor who was taken prisoner.
In an earlier ceremony, Everard and his group commemorated the crew of VO-N serial FW194, all of whom were killed during the same operation (see 'Honouring the Crew of FW194' in Dispersals November 2011 issue).

Dear David,
I've great news.
For your information.

Exactly 70 years ago an Mitchell of the British 98 squadron, fw-194, crashed at Hees.
This Mitchell flew in an formation together with the Dutch 320 squadron.
Their target was to bomb Germans FLAK. It was the last day of the battle of Arnhem.
Mitchell FW-194 was crashed at Arnhem. In 2010 and 2011 we organised a ceremony fort his crew.
First ceremony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XTz0Q3ll70 see 1.10 min. This is the FW-211; the Y of Yankee of the 98th.

Two months ago we found out the exact crash location of Mitchell FW-211.
See the original film which is made of the crash; original film.
See another shoot. look at min 6.32.
Next month the ceremony will take place in the Petruskerk at Hees/ Nijmegen, 100 yards away (straight ahead) of the crash location.
The ceremony will take place with an eye witness, she is 95 years old. She is looking forward to meet the relatives!
She remembers just like it has happen yesterday.
At least 7 relatives of the crashed crew will come over…
Three veterans of 320 will bring a last salute to those brave men of the 98th.
(one of them met President Obama last June at the D-day anniversary/ another one met Gen Eisenhower June 1944 at Dunsfold, the third made 88 ops!
The last commander of the 320 squadron will be the ceremony master…
