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 Jacques, Wikipedia said that the crash took place with Dickson on board in Saint Andre de l’Eure but S/N 42-3331 crashed in Saint Germain des angles. Doc at https://francecrashes39-45.net/page_fiche_av.php?id=2560
