Re: Encounter over Denmark
Hi Chris,
No.218 Squadron lost Short Stirling N6071 HA-G flown by F/Lt Arthur Humphreys DFC & crew on this night. This loss I think is down to Oberleutant Rudolf Schonert 4./NJG2. F/Lt Humphreys was on his 27th operation when made POW. The crews mining area was Daffodil I. Sergeant Medus was allotted Rosemary II. There is some confliction between the squadron ORB 540 & 541. One suggest the e/a was damaged, the other states the e/a broke-off when engaged, no results seen. ?
