Luftwaffe bombers losses on 8.3.1941 over the UK

[BC]

The KG.30 Ju 88 dived past the 222 Sqn Spitfires just as they arrived on their patrol line. It flew across Lowestoft at 1,200 ft and dropped a mixed load of HE and IBs which fell between Notley Road (where four houses were destroyed and 16 people injured) and Normanston Park, on the N side of Lake Lothing, where a cowshed and an outside toilet were demolished!
The Ju 88 then made for home crossing out over N Lowestoft through a barrage of AA fire and pursued by the Spitfires. P/O Klee described the pursuit as "...decidedly unpleasant as shells were bursting around us".
At 1120 hours the Ju 88 crashed in the sea 6 miles E of Ness Point, Lowestoft.
