Hi Chris,
Thanks for checking for me, I've been trying to narrow down the location but am struggling a bit - they left East Kirkby and were in the air for 4 hours 17 minutes before abandoning back over Henlow - but they nursed a badly damaged plane back (its wasnt a one sided shootout) so probably a slow return. Looking at speeds and things doesnt really help much - it could pretty much have been anywhere between the Hague and Wesseling.

One account refers to the JU88 using Schrage Musik, not sure if that narrows down units.

Thanks again

Alistair
