Re: Lysander loss - German aircraft info needed.
Flak?
The other two Lysanders (4 Squadron) shot down that day do have possible matches either by JG 2 or JG 77....but not this 13 Squadron machine. See "The Battle of France then and Now, pg. 339, by Dr. Peter D. Cornwell" (one of the most fantastic books I do have) A. |

Re: Lysander loss - German aircraft info needed.
Good work Chris!
I am going to see if I can work out the time of the engagement, but looking at the map I am certain it will be the Uffz Georg Lehmann engagement. Forward one but any idea of the German aircraft details and if a pic exists of Lehmann? Cheers Danny

Re: Lysander loss - German aircraft info needed.
Fw Georg Lehmann killed with 8./JG 27, formerly 2./JG 1, 30 Aug 40; from my book (no photos):
His first victory was with 2./JG 1on 21 May 1940. At the end of the Battle of France, his score stood at three and I./JG 1 became III./JG 27. His next victory was with 8./JG 27 on 19 July 1940 and he would get a fifth on 26 August 1940 but four days later, his Bf 109 E-4 Wk Nr 1623 was shot down off Dungeness. Lehmann was seen to bale out but on 1 September 1940 was reported killed; his body now lies in the German Military Cemetery at Bourdon 4. 19 Jul 40 Hurricane 1830 hrs Off Isle of Wight 5. 26 Aug 40 Hurricane 1730 hrs S.Winchester |

Re: Lysander loss - German aircraft info needed.
It looks like a afternoon sortie so my hunch from your research and info Chris, I assess it to be Lehmann that was the pilot who shot this Lysander down.
Thanks all! Danny
