Re: Bf 109 Loss 26 Oct 40
Hi,
One unit that I can think of that was based in the area, more precisely at Vlissingen, practically in the walking distance from Walcheren, around 26 October 1940, was 6./JG 54. The Staffel reported no losses on that day. Likewise, I found no evidence of any such loss in Michael Balss' database for the location/date either. Was there any RAF claim made for Walcheren on that date? Regards, Sinisa |

Sinisa and Snautzer,
Many thanks for looking. It was in an account I was reading but the date was suspect. Best Regards Andy Fletcher

Andy does this one help 24-10-40 Fahj/Uffz Helmut Brixel killed in crash at Bergen 9/JG54 . Unfortunately the list I have only shows names and is hard to read. However the Volksbund site shows Fahj/Uffz Helmut Brixel born 11-09-16 as killed this day buried Ysselsteyn ,
Regards Brian Bines Shown on another site as Bf 109 E-1 6071 |

Re: Bf 109 Loss 26 Oct 40
Hi Brian,
The Bf 109 loss you suggested occured a couple of miles from my place of living, which is too far from the Scheld/Walcheren area. Regards, Hans |
