Re: Luftwaffe raids on South Coast March - May 1944

The Super Robin Hanger is a mystery to me to, type of civilian hanger ? Another unit that was engaged on what might be called nuisance raids was Verb.FuhrerSchule KG101, they lost a few Ju88's as part of the main force in Steinbock attacks plus:-

6/7-4-44 6 Ju88's due to attack a Military Camp to the west of the IOW, 4 turned back due to the weather and the two crews who reported bombing were lost. KG101 reported two losses shown on mission to S/W England with one crashing on Jersey, hit by its own light flak on return and the other missing. Note RAF recorded this as Recon. over the Channel.
6/7-5-44 Five E/A reported off the Dorset coast, brief landfall made near Kimmeridge with two minor incidents.
7/8-5-1944 Bombs fell at two places in Dorset with anti-personnel bombs landing near a camp at Wareham.
KG101 reported a Ju88 lost on 7-5-44 on mission to S/W England
