Thanks Hans for your info on that Me 410. At this point in time it was probably armed with the 20mm cannon gun pack in the bomb bay instead of bombs, and so was probably an Me 410 A-1/U2.

To add substance to this idea, Me 410 intruders were out and over Britain on that morning and shot down 3 Lancasters returning from raids on Rouen and Cologne. 2 were shot down over Witchford, near Ely, 115 Sqdn; and the 3rd, from 625 Sqdn, suddenly caught fire and crashed while landing, assumed to be due to intruder action.
