I've had a copy of this photo for a while but forgot all about it. John was correct about the available light showing inside the CG-4A as it appears that the canvas sides have been removed. I can't see any other gliders behind it in the field which would help to identify its location. This one could be tricky but hey, if it was easy, I would have figured it out. Neil.
Hi Neil, The detached wings look almost too neatly severed and the fuselage is dead square onto the hedgerow - could be just a coincidence, but the whole package reminds me a lot of these two Wacos, used as some form of storage or accommodation perhaps by a GRS unit on what looks like the Blosville Cemetery Field at Les Forges: It could be just co-incidence but you never know... Regards, Pat
Enough to go round... There is at least four, counting the wreckage at lower right, in the field: Notice also how suitable the southern half of the western hedge is as a match for your photo...low embankment, drainage ditch (at least on the western side) and widely separated trees. Unfortunately later aerial coverage is in short supply :huh: Regards, Pat
OK, This is what I was looking to check - some segment of the two hedgerows running N/S at upper right in this post war aerial should match at least some of the treeline on the starboard side of the glider in Neil's photo. I am looking at the western hedgerows of the two fields on the far side of the cemetery. The view is west. If its there, I cannot see it :-/ Regards, Pat
