Hi. Outstanding website. Jeff Dickson, who died in the 07.14.1943 crash near Évreux was famous, see Wikipedia. I am trying to find accurate information on the accident for his grandchild. I see that Pruvost lives near the place of the crash: would you be so nice to mark the exact location on Google, so that it can be found? Any further info would be welcome. Thanks a lot.

Hello Sir,
I am also doing research on Jeff Dickson. Would you be so kind as to send me an email so that we can discuss the matter? Thanks in advance,
