Re: 19th February 1941
Found RE war Diary
one of the two bombs was a 500KG bomb with 2 x 38 Fuzes, these were typically used for anti-shipping. This was the UXB
a Ju88 could carry "Bombs: Up to 1,400 kilograms (3,100 lb) of ordnance in two bomb bays rated at 900 kg (2,000 lb) and 500 kg (1,100 lb)"
What would have been the other bomb(s) carried? another 500 Kg or perhaps a 900Kg piece of Ordnance related to anti-shipping?
