Re: Stirling shot down August 1940
Brian
There are not many Stirlings to chose from, N3635 to N3684 is the only batch possible. I have gone through each and everyone and IF the incidence happened on 18.8.1940 as you say, that Stirling was not enough damaged to be SOC!
However there WAS on Stirling reportedly shot down by AA (it is not stated by which nation...) over Isle of Man, but that was on 29.9.40.
I quote from Air Britain's The Stirling File:
N3640 No 7 Sq hit by AA fire at 10000 ft over Isle of Man; crashed at Hodge Branding, Kirkby Lonsdale, Lancs 29.9.40
Cheers
