Re: Do17 of II/KG3 shot down 10 July 1940

Brian,

My own notes (extracted from No.92 Squadron ORB) are as follows:

11.30 Green 2 WILLIAMS patrolling Barry saw Ju88 in AA but lost it in cloud. Then sighted an He111 which he attacked. He reported a large piece blown off the top of the fuselage & starboard engine smoking before it spiralled into cloud.

11.40 Red Section (R1 KINGCOMBE, R2 BARTLEY, & R3 BARRACLOUGH) were patrolling base (flying independently) & each of them attacked a Ju88 that had bombed Pembrey. All made separate attacks but no claim was made as it was lost in cloud.

Strangely, I made no note of the other engagements you mention, but the 'Taffy' Jones' account is well known to me.
