Re: 615 Squadron - Incident on Aug 24 1940
The crew were all captured so presumably ended up in Canada. I do not know their subsequent movements or history. Sorry.
9./KG53 Heinkel He111H-3. Port engine disabled by AA fire during sortie to bomb Hornchurch airfield, then set alight under attack by S/L J.R. Kayll and P/O J.A.P. McClintock of No.615 Squadron. Belly-landed at Fairclay Field, Clay Tye Hill, Bulphan, 3.50 p.m. Bomb-load later exploded. BO Lt Willy Lüttigen, BF Uffz Oskar Lackner and FF Fw Alfred Fraas captured unhurt. HS Uffz Karl Platzer and BS Uffz Herbert Hernaus captured wounded. Aircraft A1+KT 100% write-off. Last edited by Peter Cornwell; 30th May 2012 at 09:43.
