Re: Dornier 17-Z, Goodwin Sands, 26 August 1940

Chris is quite correct to say that the question of identity is not a case of 'sudden doubt' - certainly among those who make a study of such things. Until it can be established that the wreckage is indeed that of 1160 then establishing a link to ESSMERT's aircraft, despite the high degree of probability, remains speculative. Encouragingly, the absence of any crew during its recovery does add to this possibility.
