Re: Hans Plazer shot down Warburton?

That is an excellent suggestion Chris. I have been meaning to order the Warby book and didn't realise that you were involved in the update.

I find no claims by an ME 262 pilot that day in the various Luftwaffe claims lists. There is however a claim by a JG 53 pilot that day of a P-38. The pilot was Heinz Laemmel. The area is listed as "RR-5 tiefflug" time 14.10 filmc. 2027/I anerk: nr 152 (I assume gun camera footage). I understand that tiefflug means low altitude but don't know what the RR-5 stands for. Maybe the flak battery did the initial damage and then Laemmel finished the job. The Wickipedia article on Warburton mentions bullet holes in the prop found during the excavation. I don't know who provided that bit of information or how accurate it is.

Cheers
Scott
