Hi Gents

Just to complicate matters, 41 Squadron's Fg Off John N. Mackenzie also claimed a He111 at Hildenborough that same afternoon. Aside from evidence in his Combat Report, he recorded in his own logbook that day, "Shot down a Heinkel 111K Sth. of W. Maling [sic] HILDENBOROUGH. Gave first burst into fuselage and then held sights on port engine, which eventually stopped and aircraft crashed landed near Tonbridge. P/O Lock was with me at the time of attack but as he was out of ammunition did not fire at it. We both landed at West Maling [sic] with petrol shortage."

Could there have been more than one He111 down in the Hildenborough area? Does 249 Squadron positively identify the crash location as Hildenborough?
