Re: Storch forced down by Meteor
Could not find much but the 616 ORB online says on the 3rd W/C Schrader and F/L Jennings attacked the airstrip at Schonberg destroying 6 a/c including the Storch on the ground . A quote from 616 squadron diary online says the CO and Tony Jennings destroyed two He 111s , two Ju 87s and a Me 109 at Schönberg. On the return to base Tony saw and attacked a Storch which eventualy landed with the pilot and a second person getting out and running away . Tony destroyed the aircraft but made no attempt to kill the pilot .

Found the 616 ORB again and although its hard to read it looks like a Storch was destroyed on the ground on the 2nd , its just shows F/O Stodhart , F/L Jennings ,P/O Miller and W/O Wilkins followed by Storch destroyed on the ground .
