Re: Identity of Ju88 shot down off Whitby 9/10 May 1941?

Chris/Steve,
Didn't answer Steve's request because I believe he has a copy of my book BROKEN EAGLES (Luftwaffe Losses over Yorkshire, 1939-1945) (Leo Cooper 2001). Meagher's claim (for what he believed was a Ju88 that he shot down and saw crash into the sea off Whitby) is dealt with on p96. Control initially stated the would-be target was 'friendly' but subsequently changed his assessment before giving Meagher permission to attack. However, examination of the Luftwaffe Loss Returns has - so far, anyway - revealed no likely candidate .
