Luftwaffe bomber losses Jan & Feb 1941
Hello Guys,
I'm trying to find out whether there were any Luftwaffe bomber losses from Operations in the Scotland area from Mid-Jan to Mid-Feb '41. In John Foreman's RAF Victory Claims Part 2 all I can find are:
Jan:
12th - 3 Sqn - F/L A.E. Berry - Do 17 Destroyed - Fair Isle
17th - 3 Sqn - F/L A.E. Berry - He 111 Destroyed - Fair Isle
Feb:
13th - 111 Sqn - P/O Gage - He 111 Damaged - Off Aberdeen
I believe 602 Sqn based at Prestwick made a number of interceptions during both of those periods, especially on the 20th Jan off the Mull of Kintyre, allegedly against a He 111 and possibly on 18th Feb off Arran (could be up to 3 days later than the 18th), this time against two He 111s.
If anybody has access to Luftwaffe loss lists for that period I would be very interested to know if any losses were recorded for aircraft operating in that area.
Regards Tom
