Who shot down the Anson?
Hi guys
Still trying to get to the bottom of the 23 September 1940 Anson/Bf109 incident over the Channel. Any ideas as to who attacked/shot down the Anson? And did a Bf109 ditch/crash into the Channel during this operation? Cheers Brian

Re: Who shot down the Anson?
Hi,
Do you mean Anson N4914 of 1 CACU that was damaged by 4 Bf 109's over the English Channel and later crash landed at East Langdon, in Kent . Or anotherAnson ? Details from "The Anson File" JG26 lost two to fighters but claimed quite a few this day. Alex

Re: Who shot down the Anson?
Hi Alex
No thanks, I've a copy of Don Caldwell's book that gives the details. I note both were shot down during the morning op, whereas the Anson was attacked during the afternoon. Hopefully someone knows more. Cheers Brian

Re: Who shot down the Anson?
Hi guys
It has been suggested that the Anson may have been attacked by Fw Eberhard von Boremski of 9/JG3, claimed as a Blenheim shot down at 1405, although recorded as 24 September (in error?) not 23 September. Any comments from the more knowledgeable? Cheers Brian

Brian-some records say Boremski's victim was T1794/139 Sqn/24 Sep 40. Trouble with this Anson is if the German victor did not see it crash, he would not have claimed it as a kill
