08/11/41 FW-200 3/KG40 described by Chris (above) attacking convoy OG76 location Western Approaches. Fighters were Martlets.

12/11/41 : Do-217 4/KG40 lost shipping strike east coast - also described by Chris' post above thought the dates might be useful. No further KG40 losses for Nov 41 in the UK far as I can see. Several KG40 losses December '41 though.

Was Gefreiter R Terstegen a Dutchman? His name looks more Dutch/Belgian than German. I know several Dutch pilots joined the Luftwaffe, but little is known about their fate and (small) numbers.

Re: KG 40

Hi Chris and others;

The Condor in question was F8+EL (multiple sources have this: incl. 3. Staffeln search mission reports confirm this letter - besides individual letter Z on 3. Staffeln of this period has no other ref than the GQM lists - thus belived typo). Martlet BJ516 off HMS Audacity is claimed the victor.

cheers
