Feldwebel Heinz Vinke

[Aubrey]

Hello Leo

Thank you for correcting me insofar as the Wellington lost on 27 January 1943 should be credited to Lt Wolfgang Kuthe and not to Fw Heinz Vinke

I have, therefore, deleted the entry from my list and am grateful to you for the additional information from which I see that the aircraft's pilot and crew were still at OTU and must, therefore, have been far less experienced than those in the Squadrons

I appreciate that different sources of information often have their discrepancies with the result that many grey areas still exist and, in view of the time that has already elapsed, will probably continue to do so

Regards,
Aubrey

PS Being male I am an Aubrey and not an Audrey! It used to be a common mistake and embarrassing when I was a boy but not any more!!
