Re: Luftwaffe bombers losses on 8.3.1941 over the UK
The KG.30 Ju 88 dived past the 222 Sqn Spitfires just as they arrived on their patrol line. It flew across Lowestoft at 1,200 ft and dropped a mixed load of HE and IBs which fell between Notley Road (where four houses were destroyed and 16 people injured) and Normanston Park, on the N side of Lake Lothing, where a cowshed and an outside toilet were demolished!
The Ju 88 then made for home crossing out over N Lowestoft through a barrage of AA fire and pursued by the Spitfires. P/O Klee described the pursuit as "...decidedly unpleasant as shells were bursting around us".
At 1120 hours the Ju 88 crashed in the sea 6 miles E of Ness Point, Lowestoft.
