There were 2 FW 190s lost 29 Mar 44-Lt Herbert Moeller missing whilst Ofw Hans Lueders baled out 50 kms west of Dinard but his parachute failed to open. Both were 3/SKG 10. Still trying to find the evidence that these Do 217s were carrying Fritz X as the K Reports do not confirm one way or the other apart from this unit operated Fritz X???

Hi Chris,
Ai2(g) report states :-

'.... of very great interest for two reasons ......... ,secondly one PC1400FX bomb had been carried..... a special report ........... will be issued .....'

Apparenlty a fuel tank would have been carried on the other rack.


Thanks for the 109 info, I shall correct my ' blue 8' to a 2 , it was apparently one of four attacking a convoy assembling in plymouth sound.

The two FW's you mention, '29 mar 44' is it a typo ?
If so, are there any details on serials/codes of the 190's you could post here ?
There was always the old local rumour of a 190 that went down from this raid off dartmouth.

Cheers
Jerry
