Re: Research help
235 squadron Blenheim IV N3543 "LA-U", one of 4 from the unit shot down over the Netherlands on the 27th June 1940. The aircraft was shot down in the vicinity of Oegstregst at 15:30 hours by a Messerschmitt BF 109 of 2./JG76 flown by Lt Joachim Schypek. The crew of the Blenhiem, Pilot Officer Alan Roger Wales (pilot), Sergeant (Observer) John Walter Needham and Sergeant (W/Op) Thomas Charles Jordan all died as a result of the engagement. Two being killed in the crash and the third died shortly after of his injuries. (Friend at work asked me this afternoon if I could identify a photo of an wrecked aircraft taken by his German Grandfather in law while he served in the Luftwaffe during WWII). Photo showed the tail section of the Blenheim on the ground in the Netherlands.
