Re: KG77 Crash Downham Market 4 May 1941
Hi All
By a strange coincidence I am reading about this incidence in No place for chivalry by Alastair Goodrum and he quotes from various sources including the RAF crash report
"At dawn the next morning (May 5th, my addition) Norfolk police reported a Junkers 88 crash in Welney Wash, south of King's Lynn. Aircraft of I./KG77 raided Liverpool that night and Leutnant Joachim Wreschnik in Ju 88A-5, WNr 4269, coded 3Z+CL, was on his way home when things started to go wrong. RAF crash inspectors looking over the Welney aircraft found the port engine had failed and burned, but apparently not due to combat action, and the starboard engine also showed sign of damage. The original code of DE+ES was visible beneath the standard camouflage paint"
Sounds more like mechanical failure to me
Cheers
