Re: 4 captured British heavy bombers ?
The recent Brian Cull book Fighters over the Aegean gives a pretty full account of the operation. There is no mention of any heavy bombers, and it is not clear why there would have been. The Germans captured a number of Spitfires of 74 and 7(SAAF) Squadrons. A number of Dakotas are described as being damaged, to various degrees, by Luftwaffe attacks and I suspect these wrecks would be the aircraft referred to.
