1940 (August 10) Battle of Britain, fragments of
an identified Messerschmitt Bf 110C shot down
on “Adlertag!” day.
Five aluminium fragments, mounted and framed.
The aircraft was piloted by Lieutenant W. Munch-
meyer, escorting light bombers en route to South-
ampton. Munchmeyer’s flight was attacked by
a Hurricane flown by Sgt. L. N. Guy from 601
Squadron, RAF. Guy severly damaged the Bf-
110C, which dived away from the fighting some-
where in the vicinity of Winchester and crashed
near the small town of North Badesley. Munch-
meyer survived, his gunner was killed.
Initiated by Hermann Göring, “Adlertag!” -- “Ea-

Luftwaffe aircraft that would eliminate the British
air force.
