23 From my Friend Luco Trost:
Flight over Čepovan. The same as PHOTO 3 is in the photo, but the direction of the flight is different. Since the photograph of Čepovana was carried out after the attack on Grgar 15.3.45, we can assume that the aircraft came from Grgar across the Čepovan Valley, turned around and photographed Čepovan (PHOTO 3). It can also be assumed that one of the planes was taking pictures of the "X" Aircraft Flight 19th Squadron piloted by Lt. Harvey, the navigator was Gibbs. his plane was in the group that Grgar took on 15.3.

Info from my friend Luco Trost of Col Slovenia:
Attack on the Italian monument to General Maurizio Ferrante Gonzaga, located in Vodice (angle 625, place west of the monastery on Monte Santo - some 2 kilometers). In the background you can see the hill Sabotin. The Italian forces, led by General Gonzaga, won this hill in May 1917. The monument still stands today, but it is damaged and heavily grown with trees. Unfortunately, under the photo there is no date of attack. However, we can assume that the attack was also attended by Gibb.

40 Info from Luco Trost:
Attack on the Scalnizza. This photo shoots me pretty much because it does not show attack on the plant, but someone is somewhere nearby. For now, I have not yet been able to figure out who you are. However, the date of 26.4.45 is very eloquent, since at that time the Germans stayed only in Grgar and some of the surrounding hamlets. Interestingly, this attack is not marked on your website. All the attacks of the 19th Squadron I've processed are described there, but they are not. However, he was guided by the Squadron of the 19th Squadron and navigator Gibbs attended this attack. I will try to find the place that was attacked by the 19th Squadron then. I would also ask if you could get a photo of an attack on the monument to General Gonzaga, which would contain information about the location and date of the attack. If I got this information, I could find out where they were attacking Beaufiers on 26.4.45. More and more, it seems to me that attacks on you (for the moment unknown) and the attack on the monument Gonzaga occurred at the same time.
That would be all for now.
