Conflicting info
Hi,
On the 3 February 1940 a He111 was shot down near Druridge Bay, off the East coast of England. I have one source that claims it was shot down by three 152 Sqn Gladiator pilots and another that claims it was shot down by two 43 Sqn Hurricane pilots. The bomber was flown by Lt Luther von Bruning. He and his crew were lost when the bomber crashed and were washed ashore a week later. Do both these claims relate to the same aircraft or are they different combats and therefore relate to two He111s being shot down? Alex

Re: Conflicting info
Suggest you get a copy of 'Fledgling Eagles' which details who got what where-4/KG 26 ac to 43 Sqn, Von Bruening to 152 Sqn, 2/KG 26 ac to 43 Sqn. The first kill is a definite and it is possible that confusion exists regards the next 2 which came down within an hour of eachother
