Re: Seeking photos of Ju88A-1 shot down in the Firth of Forth on 16.10.39

I had contact with Pohle many years ago after acquiring an original sepia toned print of the Ju 88. Although I no longer have it I think the inscription on the back was something to the effect of "The first enemy aircraft aircraft downed over Britain" and, I think, a date stamp of something like 20 October. Those clues led me to think it was Pohle's a/c and his letter to me is reproduced bottom right of page 39 of Blitz Then & Now (Vol 1), but when I read his letter (and as Peter Cornwell has pointed out) the intact canopy rather indicated otherwise - and Storp seems likely I suppose.
