At approx 15.39 hours (NL-time), a 196 Squadron Stirling (EF248, ZO-'V'), was hit by flak while dropping re-supply near Supply Dropping Point 'V;, west of Arnhem. The pilot, Warrant Officer Keith Prowd ordered the crew to bale out. The whole crew exited the aircraft before this crashed north of Arnhem. Of the 10-men crew (6 flying crew, 2 air despatchers and 2 \"extra's\") 7 were killed. Driver Frederick Smith is still Missing in Action and has no known grave. His unknown grave is most certainly located in the area near \"Kleine Kweek\ | |
