The answer to this matter is simply that the claim by Schienbein was rejected and the victory credited to Flak & Flak searchlights, I've found this in the official OKL/RLM Abschussmeldungen (for the NJWD 2nd ed. I've studied and analysed all of these Abschussmeldungen on microfilm covering 1940-44 over the past three years, the results will be published in the new series of books in 2016 -thanks again Marcel for lending the microfilmreader! ):

The Wellington was illuminated by 'Gruppe 2' and also claimed by Flak of 1. & 2./Res. Flak Abt. 447 (Grossbattr.), 1. & 2./Res. Flak Abt. 646 and 1./Res. Flak Abt. 305 (Wellington nr. Helmond 03.22 hrs).

Cheers, Theo

Many,Many Thanks Theo for this explanation. Do you know if these FLAK batteries where stationed in Helmond area??

Cheers,
Adrian

No info on the location of these Flak batteries I'm afraid, cheers, Theo

Thank you both anyway
