Re: 18 August 1940 - Me 110 loss
Andy,
This is a well-known incident. We have around a dozen images of this one in our EoE Luft Loss Photo DB, and it will probably be one of our color profile a/c.
According to our loss DB:
2./ZG26 Messerschmitt Bf 110D-0. Crashed at Ypres following combat with fighters during bomber escort sortie over southern England. Crew both unhurt. Aircraft U8+BK 100% write-off.
Luc has a W.Nr., and apparently a different location. We may need to update our info. Luc, what is the source of the W.Nr. you have? Despite all of our photos, we still haven't be able to see it clearly, although it's on the rear fuselage. The name of the pilot is unknown to us, but we'd sure like to know this information.
Regards,
Larry Hickey
EoE Project Coordinator
