Ju 88 A-5, WNr. 4332, IV./KG 3, lost 17 January 1943

[George 118]

From Simon Parry Beaufighter, p.32 book I read that ''A Ju88 A5 of IV./KG3 was in trouble on its return from London. At 21.17 hours a distress signal was sent, 'Engine failure - Landing in sea'. Its control called on radio for half an hour but there was no reply. All four of its crew died when their aircraft fell into the sea off Boulogne''.
The author believes that it was the Junkers 4332 of IV./KG 3 that was damaged by a Beaufighter of RAF No. 29 Sqn, piloted by W/C Wight-Boycott.
