Re: British aircraft losses with Luftwaffe
Hello Stig, Larry and Jim
AIR 25/250 ORB (14 Group) at TNA, Kew, on 25.11.40 states:-
"On a previous occasion a Whitley was intercepted near Sumburgh on 13.6.40 and allowed to proceed because it had British Markings, but it was afterwards found to be in enemy hands."
This obviously came out in the Inquiry for the friendly fire incident when a Whitley engine was shot up by RAF fighters and our Whitley was forced to make a "crash landing on Wick aerodrome." on 25.11.40, as the earlier 13th June 1940 Sumburgh incident is in the same paragraph.
