Ju 88 A6+BH or not ?
Help needed again ! OK I have reference from Shetland Crash Log
05/03/1944 Ju 88D-1 (430576) 1(F)/120 A6+BH Stavanger/Sola ''The Ju 88 took-off from Stavanger at 15.30 local time for a reconnaissance flight to Shetland. For part of the way flew in company with Fw Schantze who was going to Orkney. At 16.00 local time they flew over Lerwick Harbour at 1,500ft and were hit by Bofors fire in the port engine, which caught fire. The aircraft was ditched near Holm of Beosetter, and the crew began to swim towards the shore. When they were picked up by the ASR pinnace it was found that Uffz Lindner was missing. He was never found and is presumed to have drowned. Crew – FV Hugen Margraf, Oberlt Alfred Cardaun, Uffz Anton Reisch, all POW. And Uffz Bruno Lindner, missing.'' I cant find any information on this but two other A6+BH are listed, one being lost in the Moray Firth 24.07.1941 and one missing 09.02.1942. Has anyone any information on the above loss ? Thanks Kevin |
