Hi chaps, I don’t suppose anyone can give me a possible identity for a Dornier 17 or 217 lost off the coast of Northeast Norfolk on 12th November 1941 could they please? It was attacking a couple of shipping targets and hit the top mast of HMT Francolin, crashing into the sea. The Francolin went down too which resulted in the loss of one crewmember, yet to be identified.
Thanks in advance
