Hi Joe,
I have much the same information as yourself, but in my sources, the date of this incident was 20.9.40!
No pilot details known, or a/c code.
Sorry pal.

Best regards,
Steve.

Generally speaking, you will only see pilot/crew names in the GQM reports if they are injured, killed or missing. In my database I have more nameless aircraft than those with names by about 2 to 1. Sometimes you can match these up with log book entries or various other types of documents.

Jim & Steve,
Thanks for your comments, I have written to the Traditionsgemeinschaft for JG 3 in the hope that they may have the answer.

Joe.
