You may refer to Avro Anson K6183 of No. 206 Sqn, engaged by the Ku.fl.Gr. you mentioned.
Pilot P/O Laurence Hugh Edwards was POW. Dorsal gunner LAC John Quilter KIA by gunfire, Sgt Alexander Hislop and AC1 Geoffrey Sheffield died in crash. Edwards swam away from the wreckage and was picked up by He-115 and brought ashore. Regards, Leendert

Thank you for information Leendert. Can you please give some sort of record reference.
My info refers to Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv RM 35/II 3 KTB F.d.Luft West 5. - 15.9.1939.
