[Knut Larsson]

This Ju 88 aircraft from Wettererkundungsstaffel 1/ObdL (Wetterkette Südnorwegen)collided during a test flight with a high-tention line over the fjord Lysefjorden and crashed into water in fjord Høksfjorden nearby. The German aircraft was shortly before probably attacked by a British Mosquito of RAF 333 SQN. The pilot was the Norwegian Lt. Wenger, who was allowed 1 Ju 88 as probable. Lt Wenger reported that the German aircraft disappeared into the clouds trailing black smoke. This incident and the clouds led probably to the collision and the death of this experienced German Wetter pilot.
The crash site (Pl.Qu.05/Ost/6914) lays appx 20km SE of stavanger and airfield Sola lays 10km SW of Stavanger.
