What plane? (3rd March 1941)
Can anyone help identify what British plane was shot down over Antwerp, Belgium, on the evening of 3rd March 1941 (after 10pm, so may possibly have been in the early hours of 4th March)?
It was knocked down by a heavy Flak battery (I don't know which one) with only four (4) shots. Many thanks! Karl

Bill Chorley in Bomber Command Losses records Hampden I X3002 of 108Sqdn lost in an operation against Cologne. Sgt K Good, Sgt A J W Ward, Sgt D A D Crouch and Sgt V T Essex are apparently all buried at Schoonselhof Cemetery in Antwerp.
