Le B17 ne s’est pas écrasé à Plouescat, comme indiqué, mais à proximité, sur la commune de St-Vougay, au nord de la commune, les débris se sont propagés de Plouzévédé où le Lieutenant Bob Jackson sauta en parachute, jusqu’à la limite avec Plounevez-Lochrist où tomba le cockpit, dans le bois de Keraouel.
