Re: a/c id'd as 'Lockheed' lost 5.11.1940

thanks for the information. however, it appears according to the 506 KTB that the English pilot/crew engaged - or at least attempted to - a seaplane (He 115) and then was shot down. The 506 KTB indicates that the [Lockheed] engaged the seaplanes but was in turn engaged by the 110 escort which shot the RAF plane down. Oblt München (the Beo. on hand) of 506 stated a search resulted but nothing came of it. My German is poor to say the least but it doesn't appear that it was a tit-for-tat affair.

A ditch doesn't sound like a "crash" while none of the reports suggest a combat that resulted in a German loss....Chris, 220 seems like a proper bet, but I don't like the loose ends.
