Re: Gerhard Friedrich shot down near Hochspeyer Apr.17/43
Hi Uwe
The only information I have seen says that Friedrich and his radar operator both came down by parachute near Hochspeyer, presumably the aircraft crashed near where they landed. The Stirling BK659 of 214 Squadron, coded BU-N, was at 11,000 feet, heading west when the combat began. The Stirling fired just over 1000 rounds at the 2 engine fighter, saw an orange flash in the haze they had seen the fighter disappear into, then 30 seconds later they saw an explosion on the ground. Thanks for your input on this! Regards Dave Last edited by Dave Wallace; 14th February 2012 at 14:33.
