Re: ? me 109 -Teeside flown shot down.1940
It was most probably one of I/ZG 76 thirty-four Me 110s fighters from Stavanger supporting the sixty five Heinkel 111s bombers of I and III/KG 26 .
Here is part of the North East Diary (1939-1945) of events of the 15th August 1940 by Brian Pears collated events, attacks, bombings and everyday life. http://www.ne-diary.bpears.org.uk/Inc/ISeq_06.html However there is several references (although a differing single engined aircraft described) to a 'lost' ME109 / FW190 randomly straffing Middlesbrough & Darlington during March 1945. This fighter even with a 'drop tank' ran out of fuel and crashed I believe near Newcastle. It was suspected at the time the pilot was desperate and 'fanatical' and was prepared to kill himself rather than give up and bail out. http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/westbrook/page7.phtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/94/a3641294.shtml
