Re: Hello

Ian,

"The Blitz Then and Now" vol2 indicates that KGr 100 were part of a raid on Birmingham on the night of 19/20 November. KGr 100 commited 13 aircraft to the operation.
The loss entry on page 283 of this book shows the crash occuring at 19.45 hrs and gives the aircraft type as an He 111H-2.

Ken Wakefield in "The first Pathfinders" provides the following information regarding the bombs carried by the KGr 100 aircraft taking part in the raid - 48 SC 50; 4896 B1 E1(incendaries) and 4896 B1 E1 ZA (incendaries).
