Re: Do 17Z-7
...and from what I have seen, intruders should not be operating at 0900 hrs and in any case, there were no claims for a Do 17 damaged. I believe it is an assumption that this was the aircraft claimed as destroyed off Skegness by 151 Sqn. Intruders were active the night of 8-9 Nov 40 attacking Driffield, Hemswell, Scampton and Hucknall. They did report 3 Spitfires and a twin-engined fighter and claimed to have possibly shot down a Spitfire (!). A later report mentions a Spitfire being encountered over Driffield at 0900 hrs on 9 Nov 40 but Skegness to Driffield is quite a distance and the Do 17 was attacked inbound to the target it would appear.
