Me110 Portland Harbour

Hi David,

Ask if it was in Weymouth Bay rather than Portland Harbour or was it off Ney Breakwater.

Hate to say it but it could also have been trawled up from the channel in another location and dumped by a home bound Weymouth trawler.

Thanks Moggy – I have the main u/c leg here – I will have to check with the guy who recovered it if he can be any more specific!

I wish you luck with your quest.

It looks as if Portland was a popular reporting point. A quick Google revealed four Bf110 shot down over Portland by 609 squadron during the Battle of Britain alone, and that’s discounting the several that are given as ‘5 miles NW of Portland’ etc.

I’d guess that the best source of reference might be the log of the nearest lifeboat station.

David, now that is an open question ! Have you found a wreck ?
