Re: Beaufighter crash 15/16 August 1943
Thanks Chris -I have found a light Flak claim for the shooting down of most probably this aircraft: the III. 1./lei. Flak Abt. 957 (Etr.) claimed a 'Mosquito' shot down at a height of 150 metres, their victim crashing 11 km west of Motteville at 00.01 hrs. This makes a perfect match to the location/time of crash of V8460, but I must add that the claim was filed by the OKL/RLM for the 14th of August 1943. I believe this is a clerical error; no Allied aircraft crashed in this vicinity/time on the 14th of August 1943.
Cheers, Theo
