    Sure Erich, please post your Himmelbett poster. Mine is pretty big and I can't get it into my scanner. I'll try with a digital camera if it works.
    Sbiper. I once surfed on a site of a Brittany association and they have a map of every battery search light etc.. in the Rennes area. I wil ltry to find the link back for you.

    Hello all. Could one of you amazingly knowledgeable boffins tell me where radio beacon Graf is at all please? Peter Spoden tells me that he shot my father down
    at 18.59 on 22/12/1944, and gives the position of the kill as ‘20-40 km NW of radio-beacon Graf’. Thank you greatly.

    friend P. Spoden shot down the Halifax at 4900 metres in quadrant QO7 by Kylburg north of Trier. that should help you somewhat ? we are talking about the probable downing of Hali NA 501 of the 578th squadron correct ?
