Re: Messerschmitt 110 loss - May 1940, Sercus, France
Hello,
Based upon the info presented above, Peter Cornwell has revised our EoE Luft loss DB as follows:
"May 27, 1940: 27 May 1940: I./ZG52 Messerschmitt Bf110C. Shot down in combat with fighters of Nos. 56, 145, 601, and 610 Squadrons north-east of Calais and abandoned over German-held territory 7.20 p.m. Crew baled out unhurt. Aircraft 100% write-off.Add : Possibly the aircraft excavated at Sercus, south-west of Hazebrouck. Werk Nummer ‘2889’ found on wreckage identifying it as on the strength of 1./ZG52 in March 1940 when coded A2+LH."
1) Does anyone have contemporary photos of this crash site at Sercus, France?
2) Can anyone provide further details of the excavation of this crash site "a couple of years ago," including precisely when this site was excavated, who or what organization did it, what they specifically recovered from the site, and where these artifacts are currently displayed or stored? Can anyone provide photos of the excavation and the recovered artifacts?
Regards,
