Re: Pandora aerial mine
I believe Luftwaffe losses this night were a He 111 of 3/KG 55 which fell to a Defiant of 141 Sqd., a Ju 88 of KG1 over Germany, two Ju 88's of KG 51 which crashed on take off at Orly and a He 111 of 5/KG 53 which crash- landed on return with 80% damage. F/L Burke of 93 Sqd. was reported as releasing his mines ahead of two Bombers one of which went off ground radar ( Blitz on Britain 1939-45 by Dr. Alfred Price ). F/L Burke was credited with a kill it is possible he damaged the KG 53 aircraft, as far as I know the Heinkel crew survived.
