RAF Wittering bombed on 8/9 May 1941 - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Hi all, I would like to ask for help wit one story of Czech navigator who mentioned a bombing of RAF Wittering in his memories. At http://www.151squadron.org.uk/ there is a note:

May 8

The Luftwaffe got its own back on the Squadron when a Ju 88 penetrated the Wittering defences and dropped a stick of eight bombs (anti-personnel type) across “A” Flight dispersal area, destroying two of the Squadron’s aircraft and damaging four others.

May 9

The Squadron was again bombed but this time there was no material damage to the Squadron establishment.

I would like to ask if there are known the German planes + units attacking the RAF Wittering on these two days.

TIA

Pavel

There were German aircraft all over the UK those nights and I can find no particular mention in German records of Wittering
