Den 17. januar 1943 styrtede HAL W7886 ned her nær skovkanten mellem Mørkholtgård og Hørregård. En vinge landede her 2 km derfra. (Kilde: Harry Skov)

På vej mod Berlin fik dette fly motorproblemer efter at have passeret vest om Stettin (her). Eneste mulighed var at vende om.
Over Lillebælt blev flyet angrebet af en tysk natjager. 4 af flyverne klarede at springe ud med faldskærm.

S/Ldr I.M.R. Brownlie landede i en skov (her - kilde: Harry Skov som talte med Brownlie i 1995). Han fulgte en vej til skovridergården her, hvor skovrider Lassen bød
ham velkommen. Efter en længere samtale gik Brownlie med til at overgive sig. Det ville ikke være muligt at nå Sverige.

F/Lt J.K. Corke landede ved Hørregaard, som er her. Han gik mod nordvest op i nærheden af Løver Odde (her), hvor han mødte fiskerne Peter og Niels Vogesen.
De to brødre tog ham med hjem og hentede Arne Lykkebo, som de vidste forstod engelsk. Igen var konklusionen at det ikke ville være muligt at nå Sverige. Corke forærede sine flugtrationer til sine værter, inden han blev hentet af dansk politi. Brownlie og Corke blev senere ført til lejrene 21 B Schubin og 3 Sagan.

On 17 January 1943 HAL W7886 crashed here near the edge of the forest between Mørkholtgård and Hørregård. See Kolding Folkeblad on 19 JAN 1943.
A wing landed here 2 km away. (Source: Harry Skov) See the monument erected here in 1995 near the crash site. See Google Map p131 Halifax W7886.

On its way to Berlin this plane had engine trouble after having passed west of Stettin (here). The only option was to turn around.
Over the Lillebælt the plane was attacked by a German night fighter. 4 of the airmen managed to bail out.

S/Ldr I.M.R. Brownlie landed in a forest (here - source: Harry Skov who talked to Brownlie in 1995). He followed a road to the forester’s house here where he was welcomed by forester Lassen. After a longish conversation Brownlie agreed to surrender. It would not be possible to reach Sweden.

F/Lt J.K. Corke landed at Hørregaard which is here. He walked to the north west to a place near Løver Odde (here) where he met the fishermen Peter and Niels
Vogesen. The two brothers took him to their home and fetched Arne Lykkebo who, they knew, understood English. Again the conclusion was that it would not be
possible to reach Sweden. Corke gave his escape rations to his hosts before he was fetched by Danish police.
Later Brownlie and Corke were taken to the camps 21B Schubin and 3 Sagan. Read more about German POW-Camps.
