Hi,
Can't access my full database at moment but what I have got for 26th is:-
He111 P-2 of 3./KG4 5J+BL Shot down and crashed off Humber Estuary. WNr?

I don't think that I have anything against 27th.

David

I have just been asking about the KG 4 losses from the period 20 Jun to 30 Jun and cannot find any more than listed by Brian. Schroeder had just taken over as St Kap hence no photos but I do have one of Furcht. RAF claims for the KG 4 losses match nicely
