He-115 loss, October 26th 1940
Hello everyone
On October 26th 1940, Hampden X2981 of 61 Sqn attacked and shot down a Heinkel He-115 whilst on a search and rescue mission for another one of the Squadron's aircraft. The Hampden took off from Hemswell at 08.28, and landed again at 12.20. The pilot of X2981, P/O Louis Patrick Massey, dropped a dinghy for the crew of the Heinkel, who eventually made landfall at Hemsley in Norfolk some 22 hours later. Can anyone offer an ID and Unit for the Heinkel? Many thanks, Regards Simon
