Sunderland/Fw200 combat 14/8/40
Hi guys
14 August 1940: 210 Sqn Sunderland N9027 returned with starboard wing and fuel tanks slightly damaged by cannon fire from Fw 200 of 1./KG40 engaged during convoy escort patrol 1.35 p.m. Do we know identity of FW200 and pilot, and and any additional information? I have a feeling that Chris may know something! Cheers Brian (PS: I'm awaiting a cataracts operation, so please excuse any oddities!)

Was in Bordeaux on Saturday. Not a Condor in sight but a really nice bistro close to the train station made up for that. Working holiday I am afraid sorting out our house
