Identity of intruder/Mosquito that shot down Ju88 near Twente airfield 20-21 April 1944?
Dear all,

On the night of 20-21 April 1944, probably in the time frame between 23.00 and 23.30 hrs, the Gruppenkommandeur of III./NJG2 Hptm. Berthold Ney was shot down by a prowling Mosquito only minutes after leaving Twente airfield. Ney baled out of his Ju88 C-6 unscathed before it crashed at Avest/Beltrum, some 25 km SW of Twente, both his crew members were injured in the process.

I have not been able to identify the Allied intruder/Mosquito that shot down Ney's Ju88. Who can help?

Cheers and thanks for any pointers, Theo
