On the morning of 23rd March 1945,
Gordon Bellerby
flew 16 Sqn operation No.1926 to
take photographs of
Bocholt
, 250 km NE of his base at
Melsbroek
. His account, later that
day, in the Line Book gives his account of how the morning went. Mysteriously, this mosaic
strip, clearly marked with the operation number, 16/1926, includes a
beautiful stereo pair showing
Cologne Cathedral
standing above the
ruined city. That was 120 km south of his route, on the far side of
the
Ruhr
and the
site of the Rhine Crossing
, which was to take
place that evening.
