Re: Condor loss February 5, 1941

Thanks Tony, I went reading through what little I had on this and put two and two together again! The German ones are not my stonrg point!

Does anyone have the Luftwaffe loss records for this aircraft, I can't even recall what they are called again.

I believe he is away buy M Gleeson who if he sees this will post also, looked up the records for the SS Majorca and found that it was sailing in the Irish Sea, close to the English coast and was a smaller vessel. Unless there were two such vessels. I searched ancestry.com records today for ship names and again the Major Wheeler was the only name of that kind I found. Maybe it was a quickly written note by Poolman that he misinterpreted, and thus we have it for posterity. I imagine the aircraft would be/could be hit by fire from a number of ships under convoy conditions??
