Re: Oblt Kayser, 1./406 and an incident on 26.7.40
Hallo Adam.

Not sure if I can help, but by chance yesterday I was looking at the 10 Sqn. RAAF online ORB on the National Archives of Australia website. There is a very similar engagement in July 1940, but on the 29th.
SunderlandP9602 was enroute to Gibraltar from Mount Batten when it engaged a Do 18. The Sunderland suffered two hits from cannon shells which badly wounded the front gunner. The crew returned at once to their English base.

As far as I know only the 2 Staffel of the Gruppe was using the Do 18 at that time. What type of aircraft was K6+CH ?

Regards,

Martin Gleeson.
