Fredriech-Karl Bachmann of 3/JG 52
Bristol Blenheim IV ‘L’ for Leather, V6258 XD Piloted by Sgt Kenneth Fenton of 139 (Jamaica) squadron of 2 Group, Bomber Command left from Horsham St. Faith, Norfolk and at 12.26 Hours, was attacked by a Messershmitt Bf 109F piloted by Fw Fredriech-Karl Bachmann of 3/JG 52 based at Leeuwarden, Holland.
Sgt. Fenton successfully managed to ditch the Blenheim at 12.48, 60 Kms. North-West of Vlieland in the Dutch Frisian Islands in the North Sea at position 4435.
V6258 had reported in that they had been damaged over Oldenburg near Bremen and were going to ditch in the North Sea, North-West of Tercheling
Island.
The Blenheim had already been damaged before being finished off. Does anyone know how?
I also would like further details on Backmann. In a drawing from the pilot's diary, the Blenheim is being attacked by two BF. 109's. Does anyone have a record of this?
Any idea where l could get copies of radio communications?
