Some questions re 15 September 1940 losses
Hi
Few questions that remain unanswered for me.
Both Oberstlt Hasso von Wedel of Stab/JG 3 and Uffz. Karl-Heinz Feldmann of 3./JG53 crashed while landing their aircraft in the UK. Is it known how quickly they extricated from ther aircraft, and how quickly they were arrested? I understand that Feldmann landed on miliary grounds, so it should be a pretty quick action.
Did and of pilots shot down during the noon action left any account? I mean Uffz. Andreas Walburger of 2./JG 27 or JG 53 airmen in particular. Aside, one of the pilots had been chased for a while and tried to evade his pursuer, but I cannot identify him.
Do 17Z W.Nr. 2555 F1+FS of 8./KG 76 belly landed at Castle Farm with its starboard engine stopped. Photos suggest that both engines did not work. Also, is there any evidence of fire on board?
Does anyone have a copy of P/O Tobin (No 609 Sqn) report for the day? I cannot find it in TNA, and it seems there is no quote in the ORB.
Thanks!
