RAF Casualties Northolt 6 Oct 1940
I thought its worth mentioning that several websites have suggested that the Ju88 that attacked RAF Northolt was shot down near Leatherhead by 229 Sqn but this is completely untrue, as Chris Goss kindly confirmed to me that the pilot Htpm Storp, the Gruppen Kommandeur of II/KG 76 returned safely and was able to file a report of the attack.
BTW I have thought that this might have been a chance attack, as only one aircraft was involved and only two bombs dropped? So was there a change of plan?
Any representative photos of a Ju88 from II/KG76 appreciated.
