Andy,

I could not find a Do215 to match this on 3rd. Oct. if it was one perhaps it got back with under 10% damage. There was a Ju88A-1 of 1(F)/122 that FTR. The Soren Flensted 'Airwar Over Denmark' site says this aircraft sent out a distress call at 1845 hrs but gives the location as Pl.Q 2200 05E off Harwich. The GQM list just shows it as missing unknown cause off Harwich, and Soren shows two crew later washed ashore Denmark. GQM list also shows a Ju88A-5 of 5/KG30 missing from mission to England, and Ju88A-1 of 7/KG30 in emergency landing on sea off Schouwen following engine trouble. Just found this one which looks like the one you are after Do17Z-2 Wekusta Ob.d.L. 2547 T5+IU Reg.Rat. Heinrich wounded in fighter attack Planquadrant ??70 damage to aircraft shown as ? (Heinrich shown in the Wekusta book as in Wekusta 1 Ob.d.L. from Aug. 1940 to June 1941 and that on 3 Oct the Do17 flown by Ltn Fritz Meinecke was damaged by a Blenheim and despite having one engine out of action the German pilot forced the Blenheim to ditch)
