Dornier 217 at Orwell in Cambridgeshire 1942
Hi all does anyone have any additional info on this plane details below? I am writing a book on Cambridgeshire wartime aviation. Some records state it was operating with 6/KG40 but may well have been operating with KG2 at the time (can anyone clarify this and where these units were based on 8th Sept 1942. I am also intersted in the possible sighting of a Focke-wulf 200 Condor over Cambridge city, which was held in searchlights during a raid in 1942. I can be contacted personally on j.evenhart@ntlworld.com......Kind regards Julian
