Ceremony Hees Nijmegen. Salute to the crew of Mitchell FW-211. 98th squadron RAF.

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).

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.

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

by Wings
The de Havilland DH.100 Vampire was a British jet-engine fighter commissioned by the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Following the Gloster Meteor, it was the second jet fighter to enter service with the RAF. Although it arrived too late to see combat during the war, the Vampire served with front line RAF squadrons until 1955 and continued in use as a trainer until 1966. The Vampire also served with many air forces worldwide, setting aviation firsts and records.

Almost 3,300 Vampires were built, a quarter of them under licence in other countries. The Vampire design was also developed into the de Havilland Venom fighter-bomber as well as naval Sea Vampire variants.
