Dirk,
Lt Wolfenberger crash landed 43-38015 at 5045 N- 0439 E because plane ran out of gas and all fields in the area were closed in due to bad weather. None of the crew was injured, but the plane was reported as salvaged.
The coordinate is just south-east of Brussels, in the vicinity of Archennes (according to 'Google Earth'.
Best regards,
Ivo de Jong
