Dorniers over Suffolk 27 February 1941
Hi guys
On 27 February 1941, it seems that a total of 16 Do17s from II/KG3 were despatched individually to East Anglia on targets-of-opportunity missions, one of these bombing (missing) the Sugar Beet factory at Bury St Edmunds at 1410. Sadly, a father and his two young daughters were killed in a nearby house. A second Do17 strafed RAF Honington (at 1243). At 1310, a Dornier was seen to land in a field at Cottingham (five miles north of Cambridge) with a jagged hole in the trailing edge of port wing. It took off almost immediately. Apparently this was aircraft 'D' of II/KG3 which reported a crew member wounded. However, I have a note that a Do17 from 8/KG2 reported flak damage with Gfr Alfred Kanter wounded. Can anyone of our experts put meat on bones and relate specfic aircraft to incidents? Cheers Brian
