An E/A was seen to hit Mangerich's #3 engine over Kaiet Channel. The engine was on fire, but was successfully feathered. However, plane could not keep up with the formation despite having salvoed bombs and he circled, losing altitude. The A/C was under control as it left the formation and was last sighted headed back towards Laaland, Denmark. |
