East Coast Intruder

In the early hours of 8th May 1941, Fw Wilhelm Lettenmeier's Dornier Do17Z-10 R4+GK of 2/NJG2 was intercepted over The Wash by a 25 Squadron Beaufighter whilst on a night intruder mission against RAF bomber bases. The crew of Beaufighter T4634 spotted the Do17 against the brightly moonlit cloud below and after a short combat saw the Dornier spiral down in flames to crash near Boston.
