JU 52 emergency landed north of Vust 9/4 1940

The aircraft belonged to ? and was coded ?
T/o. Norway Op: Operation Weserübung

The aircraft landed in a field about 1 kilometer north of Vust church.
It was returning from Norway to Denmark and fog combined with fuel low level forced it to land.

The crew was apparently taken to Fjerritslev for the night.

The aircraft was unharmed and is reported to have been flown away after having been refueled on the next day.
