He 111 lost 8th August 1942 near Isle of Wight
Can anyone trace a He 111 lost 8th August 1942 near Isle of Wight, as I have a report that an aircraft, said to be an He 111 was shot down by LAA fire on this date. Apparently bits fell off the aircraft when it flew over Christchurch at 14.30 hrs so the gunners knew it had been hit. However they were later told that the crew bailed out over the IOW (or in the sea nearby) and were credited with the kill.
But would a lone He 111 be flying around in daylight at this stage in the war or perhaps it flew over land by accident on it's way home. It there a record of Luftwaffe POWs to check to see who was made a POW that day?
