Nedstyrtningsstedet er her omkring 400 m nordøst for Stadil Kirke, Stadilvej 31, 6980 Tim. (Kilde: Bent Bågøe Anthonisen).

Den 20. april 1943 blev LAN ED620 ramt af flak på vejen til Stettin. Flyet forsøgte en nødlanding, men en vinge ramte jorden, så det nærmest blev en nedstyrtning.
De 4 dræbte flyvere, der alle ifølge dødsattesten havde kraniebrud, blev ført til Lemvig. De blev begravet af pastor J. Bendsen den 24. april 1943. (Kilde: FAF)

On 20 April 1943 LAN ED620 was hit by flak on its way to Stettin. It attempted a forced landing, but a wing hit the ground, so it was rather a crash.
The 4 killed airmen, who all according to their death certificates died from a fracture of the skull, were taken to Lemvig. They were buried by Vicar J. Bendsen on
24 April 1943. (Source: FAF)

Sergeant (Air Gunner) G. Barclay and Sergeant (Air Gunner) J. Heyworth were taken to the Luftwaffe Field Hospital in Aarhus.
