Re: He111 shot down 17 June 1940

Hi guys

I have a note (via Chris Goss) suggesting that a second Ju88 from 3./KG30, flown by Uffz Geffken, returned from this operation with some 70 bullet holes.

Also, my notes suggest that three 'Heinkels' were claimed by Berry, Boot, Matthews and Goodman, and possibly Rutter (since he was shot down by return fire).

So, was the outcome of this action two Ju88s badly damaged with one dead and two wounded?

Another action of this period that interests me is that of 12 June over Le Havre, when 1 Squadron met He111s from St/KG54. It's not clear to me whether the Hurricane pilots claimed three or four Heinkels, although three were actually lost. I have claimants as Czernin 1, possibly Harper 1, Wissler 1 shared. Has anyone additional details?

Cheers
Brian
