Re: Still seeking ID info for photos of Ditching & Rescue of 1 or 3./ZG26 U8+GH or GL in the Channel during 8.40

Brian,

Good idea that got me excited until I checked our current revised EOE Luftwaffe loss data base (compiled by Peter Cornwell) and find:

"Aug. 30, 1940: 2./ZG26 Messerschmitt Bf110C-4 (3582). Returned damaged following combat with fighters over the Channel. No crew casualties. Aircraft U8+CK 100% write-off."

So the staffel doesn't match a white or yellow "G," although the time period works.

Back to square one, but your thoughts and efforts are much appreciated.

Regards,
