2. Batterie Marine flak-abt 246

[BIG TYKE]

I have been sent a copy of a "kill" report by the above unit and would like some help in determining if this is an aircraft previously reported or a new one that was lost on 22 Sept 1943.
the report says that the above unit shot down a bomber at 21:41 hrs 22.9.1943 south of the island of Schiermonnikoog. The a/c came down in the water, this was seem by the flak crew in the report.
No parachutes where seen and from this all must have been killed.

There are 2 losses from information I have found that were shot down over the dutch coast that night.

77 Sqdn LW224 Halifax II hit by flak 21:52 off Den Helder. 5 crew are commemorated on the Runneymede memorial and 2 are buried in Den Burgh General Cem.

432 Sqdn LN547 Wellington X. No details are in Chorley's BCL 1943 but information says it came down in the Ijsselmeer. All crew were captured later.

Both these aircraft seem too far from the reported action to be the same aircraft, and the crew would not have been able to see it in the water from there. do any of the more knowledgeable members have any clue as to whether it is a new aircraft? Or am I looking at this wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Nick
