Shot down by RAF Mosquito night fighter of 85 Squadron and crashed at Golding's Farm, Ivychurch, Kent, 1.30am. Fw. Helmut Richter, killed Oblt. Albert Hein, killed Uffz. Johannes Köhler, killed Uffz.

Thank you Matti for the other crew categories, much appreciated.
I have no idea why I typed August, it is as you and Chris pointed out, 19th April 1944. Must be a sign of me getting old
