Re: Me110 encounter Oct 7th 1940

Hello Steve,

As the number of nightfighter units in the Netherlands was still quite small, I am quite confident that it must have been a nightfighter of the II./NJG 1 or I./NJG 2. The last mentioned unit had still some Bf110's but is better known as the Ju88 operating German 'intruder' unit which flew offensive nightfighter missions over the UK (Ferne Nachtjagd).

There is a chance that this encounter is documented in Ab A. Jansen's triology 'Wespennest Leeuwarden' or Theo Boiten's excellent NCA-books. Will look in both later today and let you know.

Best regards, Marcel
