Hi,

Trying to establish who, or what attacked RAF East Wretham around 2am April 5th 1941.

Any pointers welcome.

Steve

Would this then be 4-5 April rather than 5-6?

This should really be on the Luftwaffe Board. German air operations that night were mainly to the west. If the bombs were small calibre (50kg) sounds like an intruder from I./NJG 2 but that is all I can say
