War Memorial Moerdijk

Hi everybody,

Again, I need to mention the War Memorial for the fallen Dutch Fokker crew who died in their effort to bomb the bridge near Moerdijk on May 13, 1940. They had to do so, in order to stop the advancing Hitler troops on their way to the capital of Holland. Before the flight, the crewmen already knew they wouldn't survive because of the Luftwaffe air superiority over the target. They yet did their mission, but failed because of a bomb malfunction and miss. The crew of both the Fokker T.5 bomber and an escorting Fokker G.1 fighter were killed in action.

A far relative of the T.5 pilot (W.F. Anceaux) is setting up a memorial event on May 13, 2015. Simultaneous with initiating my FSX Fokker T.5 project, I decided to jump into his project with providing him a supporting video, made using FSX and my T.5.

This video will be made by one of the best Dutch flight simulation 'Flight Directors', most commonly known as JRSchiphol. My T.5 is for about 85% complete for this videoshooting, so this is progressing quite nicely.

At the other hand, mr. Wim Anceaux, the pilot's relative, has put up both a foundation and a website. In order to finance his project, he started crowdfunding, which can be found here.
In short, this is the video mr. Anceaux uses to attract people.



To conclude, I'd like you to please consider supporting this project via the crowdfunding! Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Daan
