Re: Crew of Dornier Do18 wrkn 809, Ku.FL.Gr 2/606 lost 17/10/1939
Hi Peter,
That is absolutely fantastic, just what I was looking for. Another flight from 607 Sqn attacked the HE-115's later that day too, I have the combat report for both encounters if you want copies.
A book, Northumberland Aviation Diary, has the wrong facts and I think they relate to another Dornier Do18 which landed near HMS Juno and the crew were captured. The print quality isn't great but the codes don't appear to match my Dornier Do18.
I suspected that my Dornier, being a lone reconnaissance aircraft, wouldn't actively engage in combat, whereas those HE115's, which had fighter escort, would have.
