BV140 damaged in combat 10 August 1940

Hi guys

According to Larry Donnelly's The Other Few, on 10 August a Hudson of 220 Squadron engaged a BV140 seaplane off Cromer, both aircraft retiring with damage but apparently no casualties.

Any details would be appreciated please.

Cheers
Brian

At 1635 hrs, P/220 Sqn engaged an Ha 140 in YZSC 2420. No claim was filed against the German aircraft but the Hudson was slightly damaged

Thanks Chris

Do we know that the seaplane was a BV Ha140, and if so from which unit?

Cheers

Unlikely as only 3 were ever build from what I can see. I am sure that Seaplanes or someone similar will put us all right
