Beaufighter Claims 19 Aug 42

Sgt Reg Clee of 141 Sqn got one south of Selsey 1810 hrs but a Ju 88 of I./KG 77 crash-landed back at Azouville after a combat with a Beaufighter; can anyone tell me if there were any more Beaufighter claims that evening? 131 Sqn got another Ju 88 at 1845 hrs and one hit a hillside at Ventnor after being damaged by AA

Chris,

Possibly a Ju 88 probable, 5 m S of The Needles, Z.7595, at 1827, by Mosquito II DD634. S/L G G McLannahan + P/O R C Wright of 264 Sqn.

Enjoy!

Frank.

Thanks Frank. Now I know why I had a note 264 Sqn in my files but no details!
