Re: Aerial combat with Heinkel He 115 on 5 September 1939
You may refer to Avro Anson K6183 of No. 206 Sqn, engaged by the Ku.fl.Gr. you mentioned.

Pilot P/O Laurence Hugh Edwards was POW. Dorsal gunner LAC John Quilter KIA by gunfire, Sgt Alexander Hislop and AC1 Geoffrey Sheffield died in crash.

Edwards swam away from the wreckage and was picked up by He-115 and brought ashore.

Regards,

Leendert
