On July 1st 1941 crashed a Whitley Bomber of the 102 Squadron down at Maria-Hoop-Holland, a small village in the south of Holland. The plane came back after a raid to Duisburg-Germany and shot down by a German Nightfighter, Hptm. Werner Streib 1./NJG1, its was his 15th victory.
The plane with serial nr T4233 crashed on a field about 500 metre south of the village.
