The 3 crew that baled out were captured in the Lydney/Coleford area around 2255hrs according to the K report. Cunningham's claims were 0200, 0235, 0240 hrs according to Foreman's books but these are wrong. He first took off at 2030 hrs, landing 2330hrs claiming a He 111 destroyed near Monmouth at 2255hrs (did not see it crash) so this is now a possibility. He then took off again at 0110hrs landing 0325 hrs claiming a He 111 over Southampton at 0143 hrs and south of Lymington at 0235hrs (did not see the latter crash). According to the book on KG 55, Wk Nr was 2812
