.hello again Malcom,
The latest I have is the following guys were Out of Honiton on that night over the Bristol Channel. It is yet to be confirmed as this says DO-215s and another reference to our fallen Germans they were in DO-17s. I don't know the difference but in my mind it's a discrepancy that needs looking at. So, I Need a bit more verification yet and I shall try and look in the National Archives but I'm not a member and not sure how it works. But I do have some names from the DO-217 but are they correct? I shall try and find out more but I'm a complete a mature at this.............
"In November Luftwaffe increased its activity over the channel, and crews of No. 307 had more work to do. On the night of 1st/2nd, the crew of Turzanski/Ostrowski successfully intercepted and shot down two Do-215s. This time both kills were confirmed."
I shall pass on your message as I also think it important to get these guys home. I believe that over the years authorities, but I don't know who, have been contacted but with no response, it is only through the caring of this gentleman and him putting poppies on the grave and remembering them that anything has been done at all! No one would even acknowledge there were any bodies there for years and thought he was mistaken as he had been only a boy when his mother told him about them.
They have now been publicly acknowledged but what happens next?
Thank you again for your help
Goldie
