I./SKG10

[Fairlop]

Hi,

Does anyone know if I./SKG10 did some operational flights against Britain during night 14/15 June 1943 ? S/L Wray, OC of the 137 Sqn met and claimed one Fw 190 damaged on a moonlight sortie near by Somme estuary, France.

Regards,

Michal: I/SKG 10 were active that night attacking London but no losses were recorded. The logbook I have says take off Amiens 0103 hrs 15 Jun, landing 0234 hrs

Chris,

Thank you. The time and location fix.

I have a loss noted in my database for 14/6/43, 3./SKG10, Fw 190A (sic. - I suspect A-5/U8), WNr 47 (sic. - I think 840047), Stkz. CO+LT, 100% damaged location unknown, Lt. Heinz Ullrich.

Just wondering (Chris) if this is a mis-entry/error or could it be one you don't know about?

Thanks,
Chris

This was shot down by Cunningham & Rawnsley of 85 Sqn 13-14 Jun (night before) crashing at Nettlefold Farm, Borough Green 0050 hrs. It was said to be an A-5, Wk Nr 840047 and coded CO+LT. If you want to know more, you will have to wait for the publication of my night Jabo book which should be out next year (published by Classic)!

Chris,

Other missing Fw of the Gruppe - 1. Staffel, over England was Uffz. Oehne on 20/21 June night. It landed at Manston by mistake. Was his A-5/U8 version too ?

A-5, 2506, CL+QH on 19-20 Jun (0332 hrs). I contacted him some years ago. Presume you got the re-transmitted scan?

Chris,

The mistake at Manston - so CL+QH instead of "Weiss 6+" ?
Yes the e-mail got my box. Thanks §
