Summary
Royal Air Force 1939-1945- Fighter Command
Luftwaffe night-fighter ace Helmut Vinke made the fatal mistake of flying in daylight on 26 February 1943. His Messerschmitt Bf 110G was caught at 1,000ft near Dunkirk by two Typhoons of No 198 Squadron and blasted out of the sky. This gun sequence, taken from Flying Officer George Hardy's aircraft, shows the Messerschmitt's starboard engine exploding, shortly before it dived to its destruction in the English Channel.
