ID: Do-217, KG2, Bolam, Northumberland UK May 1st 1942

Hello everyone

This is going to be a long shot, but can anyone help me with an ID for the KG2 Do-217 that jettisoned its bombs while lost in cloud over Bolam in Northumberland, on Friday 1st May 1942 at around 04.00? One of the bombs ended up in the chancel of Bolam Church, and was disarmed.

The pilot was Fw Willi Schludecker, who visited the church back in 2004. It was widely reported in the local media at the time.

Regards

Simon
