Re: Luftwaffe bomber losses Jan & Feb 1941
Hi Tom
From John Freman's "1941-The Turning Point - Ftom the Battle of Britain to the Blitz,Vol 1"
12-1-41 11.30 hrs Red secton of 3 Squadron scrambled from Sumburgh & at 11.40
intercepted a Dornier 17 over Fair Isle and claimed probably destroyed by
F/Lt Berry. Air Intellegence reported a German aircraft cashing in Sea in this
area
17-1-41 2 Hurricanes of 3 Squadron on patrol intercepted a He111H-2 of Wekusta 1
over Fair Isle. This was shot down by F/Lt Berry and crashed on Fail Isle
it was T5+HU or EU (2645) of Wekusta 1 flown by Lt.Thurz,.
13-2-41 18.30 Hrs P/O Gage & P/O Tucker claimed a He.111 damaged off Aberdeen
Mr.Foreman ties this in with a He111 of 3/KG53 which force-landed at
Sangatte damaged 50% - NB:this seems unlikely
Cheers
Bruce Lander
