Nice one Jack, is that in the locality of Sheldt? Watched a flick on Netflix called "The Last Battle" where a glider of 1st Airborne on its way to Arnhem came down and one of the lads made his way to Canadian troops.

Stavoren is a small Old Zuyder Sea town on the tip of 'The Cape'. It was a landmark that was also visible at night. Therefore it was used as navigational way- and pivot point by Allied bombers on route to targets in Germany and on special missions, as weapons- & agents dropping for the resistance (SOE). It was also on the Northern route for the attack on the Ruhr-dams. Today 7 airmen rest in Stavoren, all washed ashore from the lake.
