He111 near Sunk Island, Patrington, Spurn Point.

On the night of the 8th/9th of May 1941 the crew of this aircraft were tasked with bombing Sheffield but before they could reach the target this aircraft was intercepted by Kirton in Lindsey based Defiant night-fighters. The aircraft was seen to be struck in the main fuselage and probably injured or killed some of the crew. One of the crew was able to bale out before the aircraft dived into the ground on The Stray, near Sunk Island. The remaining four airmen were killed in the crash but only three bodies were recovered and the body of the gunner remaining listed as missing.
