AFTER YOU, SIR
Fighter pilots and A.A. gunners yesterday shared a German bomber be- tween them. The ma- chine, a Dornier 215, was first seen above the clouds. over Essex by two Hurri- cane pilots...
They both fired two bursts and left it dropping slowly into the clouds with one engine silent and smoke pouring out.
One of the Hurricane pilots dived within ten yards of the bomber before it disappeared into cloud. The German air gunner fired back.
When the Dornier appeared be-, Blow the clouds A.A. gunners spotted it. They saw it was not quite..out of action and de- cided to finish the fighter pilots' work for them. A few rounds brought the bomber, crashing down near the Essex coast,'
This is the second German raid- er which the gunners had a hand in destroying over the same spot within 24 hours. The first was brought down in flames by A.A fire on Saturday evening. — Bri- tish Wireless..
