Me 110 Night Fighter Loss 15th June 1944
In the early hours of 15th June 1944 Squadron Leader Russ Bannock and Flight Lieutenant Robert Bruce shot down a Me 110 whilst it was landing. They were operating in the area of Bourges Avord/Chateau Roux, France.
Does anyone have a similiar Luftwaffe loss on this night that might match this claim? I don't have access to Luftwaffe losses so can anyone help? Many thanks in advance, David

Hi Khorat,
Do you have the names of the crew lost at those locations and the times? Thank you, David.
