Re: Ju88 shot down 22/08/40 3(F)/123
Danny,
I have this listed as follows: 3.(F)/121 Junkers Ju88A-1. Intercepted by Green Section of No.152 Squadron during reconnaissance sortie over the south coast of England and Bristol Channel and pursued by P/O W. Beaumont. Belly-landed with starboard engine on fire and burned out at Upcott Farm, Beaford, 4.00 p.m. BF Obergefr Willi Kuhweide baled out too low and killed, FF Lt Reinhard Pfundtner, BO Oberlt Rudolf Baudler, and BS Flgr Anton Leber all captured wounded. Aircraft 7A+AL 100% write-off. Cockpit canopy side panel donated to the Devon Aircraft Research and Recovery Team by a local resident. The correct unit designation is 3 Staffel of FernAufklärungsGruppe 121. If you require more, contact me by PM on your return.

Danny,
Yes that was me. I had not been aware that a photo of the Porlock crash existed until you mentioned it. And a meeting would be good once your current tour is over - maybe a 3-way tie-up with Andy at a mutually convenient location ?
