Re: He 111 loss 19 August 1940 (& Other losses)

Andy,

Echoing Larry, many thanks for some fascinating extra detail that I have incorporated in the EOE Lw loss tables. As you say, the codes as quoted for the KGr.100 loss have been somehow corrupted but could possibly have been 6N+DL ?

The KG54 data is extremely valuable even though it is not possible to relate individual WNrs. to specific aircraft. On the face of it, I./KG54 seem to have recorded two more total losses on August 13, 1940, than have been hitherto recorded ? This information also throws serious doubt on the validity of the painted '2001' discovered on wreckage at Treyford as being the possible WNr.

Unfortunately, I cannot tie the II./ZG2 WNr. to a specific loss with any degree of certainty at present but have it filed for future reference as you never know what is going to turn up next on a project of this scope.

Thanks again.

Peter
