Frans Brogtrop
Short family background on Sergeant Pilot F.C.M. (Frans) Brogtrop, one of the pilots of No. 1847 Sqn at RNAS Eglinton.
On 18 May 1944 Frans Brogtrop was on a training flight in Hellcat JV182 when S/Lt. Pilot H.C. de Jager in Hellcat FN376 collided with him while changing formation. Both aircraft dived into Lough Foyle from 1,000 feet, 2 miles North of the airfield. Both pilots were killed. (Text and video in Dutch.) https://www.brabantserfgoed.nl/page/...n-a-day-in-may
