Hello
I was looking through one of the WW2 German photo albums that I own and came across this photo. Apparently an English plane destroyed by Messancy (Metzig) in Belgium, July 1940.
Realistically it could be June 1940 and it's hard to tell what the plane is, I was thinking Defiant?
However, I can find no record of RAF losses in that area in the time period. There was one Defiant (well two but the other was repaired) and two hurricanes but not in this area.
Just wondered if anyone had any idea/sources?
Thanks
