fascinating!

hello All, Fascinating information on this subject! I'm new and gladly took notice about all your information. I am searching for the exact location of the spot where the "uiver", the DC2 from KLM that two weeks before won the famous handicap-race to Melbourne, has crashed 20 dec. 1934, appr 23 km, 239 degrees of the fortress at Rutbah. (The position of the fort has correctly been stated in the centre of the town, also because Google-Earth gives as altitude 2019 Ft which was/is the by Imperial Airways mentioned official altitude of the fortress). Does anyone have information about the spot of this crash? oriste
