Ju 88 Identities needed please

Hi Radpoe…..here they are from Mk V.

Best Wishes.
Robert.

Does anyone know the I.D.s of any of the Ju88’s which were shot down during the “battle of Flamborough Head”-18/8/1940 please? I believe they were from 30 KG.

Unfortunately, I, like an idiot lent my copy of Battle of Britain-then & now but never got it back.:mad:

Damm, hate it when ppl dont return books like that one

15th August ’40

Hi,
According to my edition of BoBTAN the following Ju88’s of KG30 were either lost or damaged whilst raiding the east coast:-
2 from 1/KG30 – (NO DETAILS)
1 FROM 2/KG30 – belly landed at Oldenburg airfield following combat damage.
1 from 3/KG30 – Crashed at Hamilton farm near Bridlington after being bought down near Flamborough Head.
1 from 4/KG30 – Crashed and burnt out near Hunmanby after sortie to bomb Driffield aerodrome.
3 from 111/KG30 – 1 shot down by fighters off the east coast and the other two crash landing, 1 at Aalborg-west and the other in Holland.
2 from 7/KG30 – both shot down by fighters whilst attacking Driffield. One force landed near Hornby and the other crashed with no further details.

There isn’t much detail for these aircraft in BoBTAN.
I have some copies of the combat reports from pilots of 219 squadron relating to this event. They were at Catterick having their annual squadron picture when the scramble came in. I know that Nightingales Blenheim was attacked by Spitfires forcing him to dive away. His airgunner was knocked out on the turret in the vicious manouevre and didn’t come round until they landed back at Catterick. I have a painting of 219’s Blenheims on route to Flamborough Head and also a copy of the asnnual picture they had taken that very day.
