Danny,

According to Shores et al "Fledgling Eagles" p242 - On 9 April 1940 L2167 of 210 Sqdn was attacked by 2 Bf 110s of 1./ZG 76 of Oblt Hansen and Lt. Lent. Hansen shot the Sunderland down aided by his gunner Uffz. Gross.

All of the Sunderland crew were killed except for the radio operator/air gunner who was thrown clear when the aircraft exploded.

Hope that this is of help.
