Re: Encounter over Denmark
Steve: All I am saying is Schönert's victim was apparently shot down 15 kms NE of Leeuwaarden which by my estimate is quite some distance from Lyne. Digging deeper, a 418 Sqn Boston (W8318) went missing on an intruder to Leeuwarden that night & crashed at Akkerwoude 15 kms NE of Leeuwarden at 0057 hrs. Strange-looks like the German did get a victim but it was not a Stirling which begs the question who or what shot down the Stirling at Lyne. German records thought the Boston was damaged by Flak over Germany and then crashed in Holland
