Re: Ju88C Z/KG30 claim 17 April 1940
Hi Brian;
I have this ´Blenheim´ as Hudson of 233 Sq (I have not found an matching Hudson loss - then claim not valid?), besides this below...
´An Ju 52/3m of Stab./KG 30 burned out at Stavanger- Sola in early morning of 17.04.1940: it was hit by an flare from RAF Hudson of 233 SQ but as dawn broke this was attaced by an Ju 88 C of (Z)/KG 30 flown by Oblt. Jeschke claiming an RAF ´Blenheim´. The German then shooting down RN/FAA Walrus from HMS SUFFOLK (spotting for its guns at Stavanger). ...´
Besides the 4D+BH likely was the third Ju 88 C-1 with this code... (Possibly 088 0139)
cheers
