Ju 88 lost on 15th September 1941 attacking a British convoy

Good night to all.
To finish the "full circle" of some researches I am doing now, I would like to know ANY information about a Ju 88 lost to S/L Soper ( 247 Squadron - Hurricanes IIc ) on 15th September 1941.
The Ju 88 was shot down 15 miles E of Happisburgh. Any information regarding the crew, werknummer and codes will be welcomed.
Thanks for your help
Adriano

Hi Adriano,

happy to help with the Typhoon query, also anything else if possible.
with regard to this query - Soper was C.O. of 257 squadron not 247.

cheers

I contacted Von Heider; he was shot down by Soper and I have photos of Von Heider, the Ju 88 and a good account
