The aircraft had possibly taken off from Schwelm airfield. The airfield existed since 1929 but was little used due to the dangerous approaches resulting from nearby factories, chimneys, trees and power
lines. The firm G. Espenlaub Flugzeug-Reparaturwerke built an industrial complex here in 1940-41 to assemble troop-carrying gliders and repair aircraft.
The loss was namely listed under 'Espenlaub Flugzeug-Werke'.
