330 Sqn, Sunderland Aircraft No NJ 181 Code2-Z
 

Hi Guys,

This is my first post, any mistakes are mine alone.:)
I have had an interest in Aviation History for years.
I am interested in the above aircraft which crashed or was shot down off the Norwegian coast, 4.10.44.
My friends Grandfather, Kvm. Evald Sigfred Erlandsen was aboard.
The Pilot was Sigmund Johnsen.
I know these aircraft were hard to shoot down, and guess if this was the case, perhaps more than one German aircraft was involved.
Does anyone have any info on German claims off the Nowegian coast for this date.

Thanks for your consideration.
