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. |
