Ju 88 / Ju 87 loss on 11/12 February 1941
At 14.00 hrs on 12 Feb 1941 HM Drifter Eager brought down what they identified as a Ju 88 by Lewis gun, Holman Projector and rifle fire off Brightlingsea. Whilst recovering the wreckage they were attacked by a second Ju 88 at 14.05. During the attacks Lance Cpl E Bowles (shown as "12th Command") was seriously wounded.
Can anybody identify the loss? Also, according to the loss listings in Blitz Then & Now HMS Eager (in fact, HMD Eager) shot down a Ju 87 of 5./St.G 1 off Brightlingsea at 04.00. Surely the captain of Eager did not get both his aircraft identification and timings wrong?
