Missing 16./KG 2 Loss?
According to Matti and Jan Horn, three Me 410s were lost on 22-23 Feb 44. Two are known as details are in the NVM (but not Ulf Balke's book) but what about 58209/133 Fw Karl Müller (F, 15 Jun 18) and 58209/131 Uffz Kurt Bein (BF, 10 Nov 19). Both were flying together with 9./KG 2 in January 1943 and the loss would match well with the claim by Hedgecoe and Bamford of 85 Sqn. Could they be recorded under II./KG 51?

Re: Missing 16./KG 2 Loss?
Thanks but only one Me 410 crashed near Radnage and flown by Lt Felix Müller. There would also appear to have been two claims by 85 Sqn at around the same time off Dungeness, Branse Burbridge being the second pilot
