ORB of 11 OTU SAAF

[Laurent Rizzotti]

Hello,

I would like to find details about the collision of two Kittyhawks of 11 OTU SAAF on 30 March 1944 near Umkomaas, one falling with his pilot in a wet area.

I hoped to find it in the AIR 54 files available on the British National Archives website, but there is no file for this unit. I found on the Internet that Kittyhawks of this OTU were using Zwartkop Air Station, but there is nothing about this accident in its war diary either.

Any suggestion to find more about this accident will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
