Re: Heinkel III IG+HL. Crashed Eire 3.3.41

Arthur, Chris,
Arthur snr. told me that he did not get his log books back after repatriation, so he could not give dates for operations. He did mention ops to Avonmouth, Manchester, Birmingham and London but wirhout details.
On the other hand Rudi Hengst gave the date for Bristol 3/4 Jan 1941 take of 22.00 hrs Tours. On approaching Bristol they could see the fires started by KG100. He did not mention other ops. Something that Arthur Voigt did not mention was of an accident whilst landing at Tours and from what Hengst said it would appear to have been a write off (losing a wing) the date was 10 Feb 1941 He 111 1G+HL. The same identification as the incident 3 March 1941. Perhaps someone could confirm if this information is correct or is it all from memory.
