Luftwaffe attack on Neutral Ireland

Robert, would you be able to qualify why you think they might be K.Fl.Gr.806 Ju88, heinkel sighhtings not withstanding?

Looking at England civilian casualties for the day, there are 62 names listed from using Geoff Sullivans website.

Two of these names were people who died of injuries recieved in previous days.

Of the remainder, the largest group is 38 people killed in Birmingham County Borough.

Six men died as civilians at Harwell airfield, in Wantage district Berkshire.

5 people died in Folkstone, Kent
2 in Eston, Yorkshire
2 in Dunmow, Essex
2 in Beddington and Wallington, Surrey
1 Stockton on Tees
1 Croyden
1 Hove, Sussex
1 Hayes, Middlesex
1 Saffron Walden, Essex, but this was at Debden airfield

Some of the above places must be bordering on each other, I'd have to investigate Google maps.

Does it show us anything? Small scale raids, disjointed? Could it be indicative of lost crews, although the attack in Ireland seems fairly deliberate.
