Mysterious Wellesley 20/05/1940
 

20/05/1940.

the Lt von Moller and Hptm Molders each claim a Wellesley shot down (18h35,Peronne) for one and (19h35,Compiegne) for the other.
Obviously it's an error of identification,but what have they really shot down!!

All information would be very welcome

Hello,
I think there were approx ten Hurricane and three Battles lost over France this date, could have been not RAF a/c though ?
Twin motor were two Whitley and a Tiger Moth bi-plane.a/c.

Hello,
Hope you all had a GREAT Christmas.
Do I see the number "6" on the leading edge of the wing ?
Might help identify its crew.
