Wekusta 1 Loss 24 July 1940
I am looking for information on the possible loss of a Wekusta 1 He 111H-3, believed to have been shot down by 504 Squadron Hurricanes of Rook, Frisby and Haw of 504 Sqn, 10 miles east of Wick at 09.05 hrs on 24 July 1940. Mason's Battle Over Britain, lists the loss, stating that three crew were killed and two were rescued and made PoWs. The loss is not listed in BoB Then and Now. The 504 Sqn He 111 claims are listed in Cull's Battle for the Channel, and Parry's BoB Combat Archive, but these are not matched to the Wekusta 1 Heinkel. Any thoughts? I should also add that there are no Combat Reports for this action at the National Archives and no ORBs for 504 Sqn for July 1940.
