Beaufighter VIC JL726 LA-Z shot down by a fighter into North Sea off the Norwegian coast.
Can anyone please tell me anything about the circumstances of the loss of this aircraft and confirm the crew members. Who shot it down?

Beaufighters V, Z, A, L combat with Fw 190s and Bf 109s off Stavanger 1430 hrs; Z shot down. Claim by Lt Ludwig Schmidt of 2./JG 5 for a Hampden at 1436 hrs
