Do 217

HI

I am trying to locate a Dornier 217 bomber that bombed Reading, Berkshire on
wednesday afternoon 10th February 1943 it was a single aircraft possibly from ll/KG2, this was one of the only raids inflicted on Reading and certainly the heaviest killing 41 and injuring 158

the aircraft came in very low in a North westerly direction and was shot
down believed to be by a Spitfire near Newbury Berkshire later that afternoon

I would like help on at least what unit it was operating from and possibly any
other information concerning the said aircraft Type, Unit lettering and possible colour schemes

The reason I am so interested is I am a part time Aviation artist and this was
an interesting local event witnessed by my father and I would like to portray as accurate a picture as possible

All help would be gratefully recieved

Thanks in advance

Ironcross
