Me 110 M8+BM AUG 30th 1940
I am currently researching this aircraft's shooting down at Enfield sewage works on AUG 30th 1940. I would like to confirm the crew member's name that was catapulted out on impact with a filter bed. Does anybody have ANY info, photos etc of the crash. I do have the book ''Battle of Britain then and now'', which gives some photos and details.
Details I have at present are: Me 110 (bf/110c) s/n.3257 reg. M8+BM 4/ZG76 CREW: hptmn. Heinz Wagner and stabsfw. A Schmidt. I am of the opinion at present that this M8+BM at Enfield sewage works and the other one at Durrants road, A2+HK 5/ZG2 Me110 are the two victories/kills of Douglas Bader that are shown in McKnights Hatrick painting. |

I have Wagner & Heinrich Schmidt coming down at the sewage works and a victim of Wille McKnight whose victim "...crashed in flames alongside a large reservoir..." There are 3 photos in my book "The Luftwaffe Fighters Battle of Britain"

Jeffrey,
You are, of course, welcome to your own opinion as to who shot these Bf110s down but I will be grateful if you would help me understand how I could have got things so wrong. |
