Re: Heinkel Crash Chobham 24 Sept 1940

Thank you, Hucks216, that just the reply I was hoping for! The book you mention is now on order.

I have come across a statement from a local historian that the aircraft was equipped with "an experimental form of radar(?) for the blind location of targets." Having read up on the types of equipment this could have been, presumably this refers to Knickebein (I understand use of X-Gerät was limited to Kgr100 at this stage.) Was Knickebein in widespread use by bomber units such as Kg26?

Thanks again,

Mike
