Re: He-111 werknumber 3822
I was interested to read this exchange. At 1318 hours on 7 Feb 1941, an He 111 flying at 1,000 ft released 20 HE and 9 IB across the Harbour Works and plant at Lowestoft, Suffolk. The main bascule bridge was 'straddled' by bombs, serious damage was done to the bridge house and LNER works and plant, and 12 people were killed.
A gun crew from No.158 LAA Battery claimed a hit on the He 111.
The next day, Lowestoft Police reported that pieces of aluminium alloy from the He 111 had been found in the East Suffolk County Council Yard at Pakefield, S of Lowestoft.
I believe the crash near Zeebrugge involved the He 111 hit over Lowestoft - comments, anyone ?
