Re: ju88 loss 21.3,1945

Claim was by 256 Squadron, F/O Scollan.

"The hostile recrossed the coast, heading northeast, and after a 270mph chase they made contact in the Pola-Trieste area. After visual confirmation they opened fire, setting both engines ablaze and recognising it as a Ju 188 by the light of the flames. Scollan's third kill, it fell into the sea and broke up about three miles offshore at 2245. Likely of 4./KG 200 (W.Nr.180444), which went missing over the Italian war zone. The fate of Hptm. Heinz Domack and his four crew remains officially unknown. Crew were Hptm. Damack Heinz F MIA, Fw. Buchheister Walter B MIA, Uffz. Jakobs Heinz Bf MIA, Fw. Panke Fritz Bs MIA, Uffz. Rottstedt Hans Bs MIA"

Edit - meh, as per the link credit for the above should go to perennial internet good-guys Nick Beale and Ferdinando D'Amico.
