SKG 10 loss, 2 June 1943
Does anyone know the identity of the aircraft and/or pilot involved in the following incident reported in our local newspaper recently.
Parts of this FW190 were recovered from the docks near the old lock gates at Ipswich but i'm yet to pin down the exact details.
It was June 2, 1943 when German bombers attacked the town (Ipswich) in an early morning raid. The attack came at 5.20am when nine Focke-Wulf FW 190 fighter bombers, flying at roof top height, dropped bombs on Prettyman Road, Felixstowe Road and Myrtle Road, with one of the aircraft crashing into the dock after flying into the blast of a bomb, hitting the jib of a crane on the quay and crashed near the lock.
Thanks in advance
