Just did and nothing whatsoever came up.

Though possible (look at Hess albeit he was one way) I think not. Let us wait for John Vasco to comment!

I'm off out in a couple of minutes, so can't follow this up at the moment.


However, if memory serves me well, there was a Lw aircraft shot down by an RAF fighter that took off from Speke and intercepted it immediately on take-off, shot it down, and landed again in about 15-20 minutes. A bomber. I'll check my references later today.


Chris, you may recall such an incident?

This was a Ju 88 of 2/806 on 8 Oct 40? Came down at Port Sunlight

Right I'm back.

That's the one I was thinking of, Chris.

Ju88A-1
M7+DK
4068
2./806
Down at Bromborough Dock, Port Sunlight at 16:15 hours.
Attacked by three Hurricanes of 312 Squadron: Denys Gillam, Alois Vasatko & Josef Stehlik. Gillam shot the Ju 88 down even before his undercarriage had fully retracted.

Photos of this Ju 88 down on 8th October 1940 are on pages 574-576 of Luftwaffe Crash Archive Volume 5, published by Red Kite.

I think this is where that item on e-bay is probably from.

Thanks chaps - thought it highly unlikely to be a 110.
