Loch Ewe WWII JU88 raids

I have written an article regarding JU88 raids on Loch Ewe during WWII and the story of the JU188D-3 reconnaissance plane from Aufklarugsgruppe 1(F) 120, that came down on the 28th December 1944 in Loch Broom. Is there anyone who would like to proof read / check it?
I just tried downloading the article as an attached file, but I cant see it as 'as an attached' file.
So can we discuss any points of interest here.
The article will form part of my forthcoming book on the histpry of Loch Ewe WWII due out in April14
Tks Steve C

Re: Loch Ewe WWII JU88 raids

What happened to the aircraft- still there, or recovered post war?

Dave

Steve, you certainly post your email in a post. Some prefer to do it by PM. Your email link will be live if you post it.

Re: Loch Ewe WWII JU88 raids

SEAN, Tks I have PM'd you.
DaveM2, the JU188D-3 reconnaissance plane that came down on the 28th December 1944 in Loch Broom crashed between Isle Martin and the mainland. The undercarriage was on display for a while outside the Ullapool Museum, then it was moved south somewhere. The wreckage as been much broken up by trawl fishing and anchors from factory ships during the mackerel fishing 'high' of the 80-'s/90's.

Re: Loch Ewe WWII JU88 raids

Steve do you have the interrogation report for the captured airman from this aircraft, if not PM me. A couple of years ago a life jacket claiming to be from the prisoner was sold on E-Bay,

Thanks, a pity, however no where near the tragedy of the basically intact 188 recovered from a Polish lake and scrapped in the 1960s.
