He111 TG30 shot down 18/8/43 off Sardinia?
Hi guys
Apparently a He111 of TG30 was shot down by RAF or US fighters off Sardinia on 18 August 1943. Can anyone confirm this, please? Any relevant claims? Cheers Brian |

Brian-referring to the post on the other board it says engine failure, no mention of enemy aircraft

Hi,
from my notes: 3 He111's were claimed by 153 Squadron on this date ! 2 by S/Ldr.Willson and 1 by P/O.Moss No details of location or time Bruce Lander |

Hi,
No fighter claims match this, that I am aware of, so engine failure is most likely. 153 Sqns three claims were near Bizerte just before midnight on night 18/19 August. Keep up the good work Brian Cheers Russell |

It sits with a gazillion others in my "read these someday" folder. Not being related to the Pacific it has a lower priority for me. :) Rich |
