Info Board Emergency Landing Hawker Typhoon MK IB

On 11 November 1944 John Fraser's British Hawker Typhoon MK IB fighter-bomber made a successful emergency landing here on the Scharweg.
Due to an engine failure, he can no longer reach his air base Welschap near Eindhoven. John Gordon Fraser's plane was involved in the attack on the locks at Terherne.
Pilot Fraser hid in the Easterskar after the emergency landing.

Route:
In Rotstergaast, turn off the main road Hoge Dijk at house number 72 and drive onto the narrow Scharweg. After about a hundred metres, you will see the information panel on your left. About two hundred metres further on, to the right in what is now a wooded area, is where the Hawker Typhoon MK IB came to rest after its emergency landing.
