Re: He115 loss 26.10.1940
Bill, there was an He 115 claim in the "Southern N Sea" on 26.10.40, but outside your specified times. S4 + AH of 1/506 was brought down by a 61 Sqn Hampden engaged on a sea search off Gt Yarmouth at 1859 hours. The 3 crew paddled ashore the following day and were taken PoW.

Re: He115 loss 26.10.1940
He 115B W.Nr. 1889 S4+CH (British interrogation sources says S4+AH) of Küstenfliegerstaffel 1./506 was lost on 26.10.1940. The plane was shot down by a Handley Page Hampden of the east coast of England. The crew was rescued after reaching the coast north of Yarmouth after some 25 hours in their dinghy. The aircraft was found by Luftwaffe recce aircraft in position Pl.Qu. 2477/05 Ost the following day and sunk by gunfire from other Luftwaffe aircraft. The crew were all unwounded and taken as POW's. Lt.z.See Karl-Heinz Kemper (B), Uffz. Gerhard Grotefeld (F) and Obgefr. Kurt Forster (Bf).
