June 2003 : relatives of Michael Newling, whose Hurricane was recovered in Pamel in 1997, contacted us and visited the BAHA Collection Erembodegem. The pilot's escape route was reconstructed, with the help of Gerard Kestens, who as a young boy guided Michael Newling under heavy German fire towards the Dender river. The English pilot was picked up at the other side and made it back to England to fight in the Battle of Britain. He went missing in 1941. This was a very emotional day for both Michael's family as our members, as his nephew was able to climb into the cockpit wreckage from which his uncle was able to bale out back in May 1940.
