Re: July 1940 Luftwaffe losses

There were only two He111s reported lost on 8 July 1940. An aircraft of 1.(F)/120 shot down by No.602 Squadron during a reconnaissance sortie over the Firth of Forth, and the Stab KG1 machine tipped into the Channel by No.74 Squadron as detailed in my previous post.

Looking at the times of respective engagements, I suppose it is possible that this was also subject of an earlier attack by Allard, but as we do not have details of its precise mission this remains speculative.
