Identity of FW190 and Me109 losses March 1944
 

Trying to identify the FW190 claimed by P/O H W Grant 412 Sqn on 17 March 1944 and the Me109 claimed by S/Ldr. M D Boyd also 412 Sqn. on 28 March 1944. 412 was based at B88 Holland. Any help appreciated.

Tony:

Might be a typo here. I don't think 412 Squadron would have been at B88 Holland in March, 1944?

Hello John
Apologies yes a typo should be 1945. It's an age thing!

I have a Sqn Ldr M Boyd (Maurice David) with 412 Sqn in 1945 but he didn't claimed on 28 March

Many thanks Laurent. I would appear that I am making terrible mess of this query. I rechecked my notes from the ORB for 412 Sqn. and I had mistaken the date 28 th when it should be the 25th March 1945. I wonder was the FW190 claimed by P/O Grant on 17 March 1945 in fact shared with S/Ldr Boyd or were there other claims that day? Thanks very much for the link to Boyd, most interesting
