Re: Luftwaffe over Scapa Flow

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your help, we were in touch a few years ago regarding the Ju-88 at Pegal Burn & the one at Flotterston,Sandwick, which was shot down by Lt T.R.V.Parke in a Martlet on Christmas day 1940.

To be honest Peter, dates are as they appeared in `Sky Over Scapa` but are vague, so this is also a process of elimination as well,to squash all the rumours of suspected ditchings etc.

Your mention of the one on 16/3/1940 has at least put this to rest, we know now that this aircraft is not in Orkney, so thanks for that.

Incidentally I have visited the Pegal Burn aircraft twice and there are still a few small pieces to be found, though mainly alloy skinning.

Regards.
Dave.
