Re: Ju-88 lost 31 july 1944
Claude, 'K' report 427/1944 gives crash location as '' about a mile off shore, Barfleur Harbour, 30th July 1944 at 2330hrs''.
The report says the aircraft took off at 2100hrs from Montelimar to make a torpedo attack on allied shipping in Barfleur Harbour. Two F.5B torpedos were carried and aircraft were due to return to Dolo-Tavaux after the mission. The aircraft code 1H+IP (in report) hit a ships baloon cable, and the pilot ditched with torpedos still onboard,
