Re: Luftwaffe Crew lost over England?

Hello all.

I,ve attached a link to scanned photo of the wreckage of Do 17 on the beach at La Pulente, Jersey.

Also, local diarist - Leslie Sinel - records the incident thus:-

1st November, 1940.
"German plane crashes at La Pulente while on a practice flight over St.Ouen,s Bay;the crew of 5 is killed".

So, five crew killed. Perhaps this explains Obergefreiter Schinkel! If one crew member belonged to Aufklarungs Flieger Schule I did that mean that the crew was under instruction or were they being tested in any way?

Steve.
