Re: Ju88A1 8/KG4 missing 12?-10-1940
Guys,
Small piece of additional information taken from page 99 of "Air Raid" by Michael Bowyer.
"Shortly after 20.00 a Ju 88 collided with a balloon cable and crashed into the water 2 miles SE of Languard Point. None of the crew survived, and the wreck was taken to HMS ganges for examination. At this time there were 24 balloons (10 waterborne) in the area. An hour and a half later another Ju88 inbound to intrude upon airfields was held in searchlights which dazzled the pilot, forcing him into the sea. "
