Re: Hs 123 shot down over Belgium on May 12 1940
According to 'Twelve days in may' the Henschel (identified by the RAF pilots as an Hs126) was shotdown by Red Section of 3 Sqn (shared between F/Lt W.M. Churchill, FO C.A.C. Stone and Sgt R.L. Wilkinson). It is reported as crashing near Diest.
A second 'Hs126' was forced down by 3 Sqn's Yellow Section and the aircrew taken prisoner. Regards, Steve |

Re: Hs 123 shot down over Belgium on May 12 1940
Hi,
Given that a crew of 2 is mentioned, I guess it was more likely an Hs-126, because, AFAIK, the Hs-123 was only a one-seat plane. Hope this can help, Kolya. |
