Re: "Recco" Bf 109
Correct, the loss date in the German Wast report also state the date as February 20, 1944. I would assume that this reco mission over Scapa Flow was flown during daylight. In February this is limited to a few hours during mid day. It is therefore unlikely that the plane left Sola airfield late on the 20th. and to be lost after midnight on the 21st.
By the way, the aircraft was a Bf 109G-6/R-3.
