Does anyone have a copy of of the above that they are willing to share?

[Chris Goss]

Does it exist? What about III/KG 26?

[bill norman]

Chris, I don't whether it exists - but current indications are that my quest is merely a faint hope that is rapidly disappearing into the ether. I might just drop a line to BA.

Dear Bill, I can tell you that as far as i have scanned through the "Findbücher" of the BA/MA, the only item of any significance is a post-war manuscript by one of the pilots. However, I do not know if it cover the period of interest to you. I suppose you have already checked out the book "Torpedos Los". The only other other possibility is that some
Kameradschaft of K.G.26 has documents in their custody.

[Chris Goss]

Many years ago the Traditionsgemeinschaft der KG 26 was very active & helpful. Whether it is still active today is another matter-look at KG 2

[bill norman]

Seaplanes. Thanks for your input. I do have a copy of 'Achtung - Torpedos Los!' No use, unfortunately.
Chris. You are correct:the old boys on all sides continue to go the way of all flesh and possible sources of info continue to shrink.

[bill norman]

Jim, Thanks for your input. I have that book, too, but I have not yet found the incident that I am looking for.

Dear Bill, if you could let me know what you are looking for I may be able to help you on the way.

[bill norman]

Seaplanes, Thanks for your reply. Ltn Herbert Huck's He.111(9./KG26) was shot down off the northern Scottish coast on 12 July 1940 and crashed into Aberdeen's newly completed ice rink. I have read that RAF Leuchars was his target and I am seeking official confirmation of that.
