Re: Ju 88 A-5 WNr 2400 of II./KG 30

@Stig
Yarmouth in Norfolk is officially named Great Yarmouth and should be referenced by this name. Unfortunately such mix ups of geographical names happen quite often, that's why I added Isle of Wight.

It seems someone connected the loss of WNr 2400 to the claim of HMS COTTESMORE only because these events were reported on the same day (7 June 1941). However, the destroyer made this claim during the night of 6/7 June in the Strait of Dover, while the aircraft was most likely shot down by AA over Loch Ewe during the night of 7/8 June.
