Re: He 111 of Stab KG 26 shot down on 29 November 1939
Laurent,
We carry this loss in the EOE Luft Loss DB as:
"29. November 1939: Stabsstaffel KG26 Heinkel He111H-2. Reportedly shot down by S/L H. Broadhurst of No. 111 Squadron and crashed in the North Sea 10 km east of Amble 9.35 a.m. Four crewmen missing. Aircraft 100% write-off.
This aircraft was reported by Northumberland Police and, acting on Admiralty instructions, a motor boat and patrol vessels carried out a search of the vicinity but nothing was found. No corresponding loss is documented in surviving Luftwaffe records."
Obviously we weren't able to document any crew names to correspond with this a/c loss. Peter Cornwell might want to chime in here on this one. He is the "keeper" of our DB.
Regards,
