Re: He 111 lost 8th August 1942 near Isle of Wight
Dear Chris,
I wonder if the aircraft was from a Maritime unit and did not intend to stray over land but did so due to bad weather. I know that there was a fair bit of cloud that day.
Could the aircraft have been an He 111 from III/KG26 as I know the unit was active in this area at the time.
Perhaps the aircraft was from a Reconnaissance unit, though I'm not sure if the He 111 was used for such missions.
