Starting from an airfield in the SE of France, refuelled at an airfield on the Franco-Belgian frontier. Flew across “looking for trouble” and was engaged by three Spitfires from above. Both crew baled out and the aircraft dived into the ground and was buried at a depth of 20 ft. Markings: Yellow wing tips and three yellow stripes on tail fin.
This aircraft was shot down in combat with No.17 Squadron Hurricanes, probably that attacked by F/O Count M. B. Czernin, believed also attacked by F/Lt. A. W. A. Bayne and P/O D. H. Wissler. Both crew members were successful in baling out and were captured. Note: Major recovery of this aircraft was carried out by the London Air Museum at a depth of over 35 feet.
