KTB 2./606. 19 September 1939

[bill norman]

Adam,
No apologies required - I have similar moments myself! Thank you for producing the 'lost' sheet (very much appreciated!) and thanks to Seaplanes for the extra Info. Chris, this is one of the 'sometimes' occasions in which optimism [i]did [i]work.

Stig,
In your earlier contribution , you show that Shores' stated ".. the Anson made four firing passes...", which made me think that we were talking about different incidents. Interestingly, however, the page for 19 Sept. 1939 from the 2./606 KTB states "Nach 4 Anlaufen..". which (I think) can be simply interpreted as " after 4 approaches (or attempts)..." ie no mention of gunfire - which would fit more readily into the 269 Sqdn scenario. Anyone have a view on this?

Thanks to all who contributed to this item. It became strangely engrossing for me - especially when the incident was very minor and without any real significance. However, the latest contributions - by Adam and Seaplanes - have provided a new beginning : the search is now on for photographs of the 2./606 crew responsible. I have posted the request as a separate topic. Can anyone help?
