English: A German Focke-Wulf Fw 200C Kondor of KG 40 sinking in the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland, after being shot down by a Lockheed Hudson Mark V of No. 233 Squadron RAF. The Hudson was flown by Pilot Officer Ron Down. The Condor, flown by Oberfeldwebel Heinrich Bleichert, belonging to Stab I./KG 40, was attacking convoy OG 69 off west Ireland. Bleichert and five others survived the ditching though a weather observer onboard was killed. Original description: "A Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Kondor sinking in the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland, after being shot down by a Lockheed Hudson Mark V of No. 233 Squadron RAF based at Aldergrove, County Antrim, while trying to attack a convoy. This oblique aerial photograph was taken from the victorious Hudson (AM536) and shows the crew of the Kondor swimming for their liferaft which is inflating to the right of the tailplane." |
