Re: Mystery Do 17Z-2 crash

Some local gen:

Felixstowe War Diary:

229) Wednesday 27th November 1940, 0840 - H.E. bombs, number and size not known, dropped in sea off Orfordness. Enemy 'plane shot down by Hurricane fighter.

Police reports:

27.11.40, 0842 hours, 10 HE's dropped in sea 2 1/2miles SE of Orfordness Lighthouse, 1 mile from beach. Jettisoned by enemy aircraft. 3 RAF fighters in vicinity. Great deal of machine-gun fire heard above clouds.

Presumably these relate to the same incident.

Regards,

BC
