Re: He 115 Shot Down by Hudson on 7 September 1940
Have you checked in our book?
07.09.40 1./106 He 115B 'M2+FH' WNr. 2724 100% Pl.Qu. 6779 (North Sea).
Shot down by a Lockheed Hudson. One crew member wounded. The RAF recorded this combat as taking place on the evening of 06.09.40 when aircraft 'W' of No.206 Sqn. from Bircham Newton attacked a He 115 flying at 250 feet 40 miles off Cromer.* In a half-hour engagement the He 115 was forced down onto the sea with an engine stopped and oil leaking.* 2 or 3 red Verey lights were then fired from the Heinkel.
