Re: Ju 88, Rothes 21/6/44

Very probably this:
1944-06-21, 1.(F)/120, Ju 188 F-1, 280206, A6+HH, (England)
Flugzeugführer Lt Winne, Joachim, +
Schanze, Friedrich, +
Sebisch, Werner, +
Stallmann, Werner, +
Unbekannt. Bruch 100 %.
WNr. in the NVM is 280608, which seems to be incorrect. Could also be 281608?

Matti

See http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=204210

I entered it in the wikibase 5 days ago with the same WNr as given by Chris but Matti had another and noted that 280608 seems to be incorrect.

The hill was 3 miles NW of Rothes and a height of 1,200 feet so I leave it to you to work out!

Re: Ju 88, Rothes 21/6/44

Highest hills in that direction (hart Hill, Brown Muir) which are 906 and 1112ft.

Newspaper articles from the period, say the aircraft came down on a moor and a photo of the crash location supports this. Likely area for the crash was Stoney Hill NW of Rothes

Any further NW, the crash would have been nearer Elgin.
