[wightwrecks]

Hi Searching for information on a reported AAA shootdown of a Me210 over the Isle of Wight in summer of 1943. Sketchy info supplied to myself indicates that 2 Me210's were overflying Island at approx 40,000 feet and were fired on by AA using a new type of shell. One aircraft alledgely brought down into sea south of the island. Not sure of the validity of this info. I know that one of a flight of 3 109's was brought down over the island by a direct hit at high altitude, but this a/c crashed inland. So is this a seperate incident or confusion from an apparent eye witness??

Any info would be greatfully recieved.

Thanks Andy
