German Ace Heinz Knocke said in his diary that "the speed of the Mosquito was astonishing", but flying with Bf-109 he was slowly shorting the distance between his fighter and the Mosquito and shot the British bomber down in to the sea. Only big oil spot remain from the Mosquito. Both planes were flying at maximum speed close to the sea surface. the British bomber was trying to escape.
