He 111 seen hit over London 15 Sept 40
I have an eye-witness account from the ground of a He 111 seen being attacked and set on fire by a Spitfire over London (north of the Thames) on 15 September.

Does anyone have any idea as to a specific He 111 or Spitfire involved?

I note that
The witness saw this through a gap in the clouds and recalled the cloud cover on that day.
Most of the He 111s in the afternoon attack on London seem to have been attacked south of the Thames. Many appear to have turned before they would have been visible from north of the Thames.

thanks,
David Isby

Sorry, but the words 'needle' and 'haystack' spring to mind...

Hence my shot-gunned He 111 losses for that day listed previously - take your pick. At least, I guess, its a fairly small haystack.

Excusez-moi , mais je pensais que votre page n'existais plus et je suis content de voir que je me suis trompé!
Encore une fois, excusez-moi.
J'ai pu localiser un Ju 88A-4 près de Beaumesnil (sud-est de Bernay).Au archives de mon département, il parle
" d'un appareil allemand tombé le 3 août 1944 vers 03h00
du matin. 1 tué et 2 blessés"
Je vous remercie par avance, pour les renseignements que vous pourriez me fournir.
Salutation. Joel

"A German aircraft dropped 3 August 1944 about 0300
