Ju88 V4+GR shot down 8 November 1940
Hi guys
The above machine was shot down while attacking RAF Honington at low-level, the victim of a Lewis gunner. The crew was killed. Has anyone seen a report of this incident and, better still, a photograph of the aircraft? I understand that the Lewis gunner was Gunner Tommy Sudbury, who was initially put on a charge for opening fire without permission, but was later awarded the Military Medal. Can anyone confirm this? Apparently Sudbury's picture appeared in an issue of the Daily Mirror. Any ideas? Cheers Brian
