Ju88 Interception off Ireland, August 1942

[Brian Bines]

Hi Mark,

I take it there is no possibility about the year of this incident. The reason I ask is that an NVM reports the loss of a crew of 1(F)120 on the 14-12-43. It shows the aircraft reported the left engine on fire and that probaly an emergency landing would be made between 57 and 58 Grad nord and 2-3 Grad west (off the Hebridies?). If the fire was bourght under control the aircraft may have made for neutral Eire and ditched. The crew are shown as missing probaly drowned, and then two are notated over as gefallen. Details are Ff Ofw Paul Weber, B Ltn. Hans-Ulrich Birninger, Bf Fw Wolfgang Jahrig, Bs Obf Jakob Rohr. Following Chris' information on the I(F)/33 I could not find another candidate for Dec 1942 , always glad for any correction though,

regards

Brian Bines
