Photo Comment

On 11 May 1940 this fighter was shot down by Bf 110s near Nieuwkoop, which happens to be my place of birth. In 1993 the wreck was excavated by members of the Crash Foundation to be put on display in their small museum. The museum later moved to Aalsmeerderbrug, just south of Schiphol.
