Leutnant Fritz Koch + 02.04.1940

Hi Guys,

I am searching for the aircraft and crew details relating to Lt Koch and crew who were killed in a crash on return from mission to Scapa Flow on the 2nd April 1940. Matti, do you have any further information please?

Kind regards

Melvin

I believe that this a was one of a schwarm which then bumped into a Sunderland of 204 Sqn which shot down the St Kap and forced another to land in a (then) neutral country
