Mosquito or Beaufighter?
 

The night of August 31 - '44, an allied airplane is down next to Savona.
Some researchers have recovered some pieces:

Thank to Fabio for his post, he's as ever a quick guy!

I have found two losses in the same squadron on that night, was they in the same plane? they was Pilot Officer WILLIAM HENRY BILLING and W/O Flight Sergeant H THORNTON, both 272 squadron and both two died on 31th august 1944. Anyone can help? Thanks!

I found a claim against a Mosquito that day:
Miscellaneous Claims:
30.08.44 Fw. Siegfried Seffler 7./JG 4 Mosquito £ - - Film C. 2025/I Anerk: Nr.*
* This entry is a written note.
However, we can not find out WHERE and a time for this claim...

PS: I do have been following with great interest this thread. Good to see that Archeology and History aspect being discussed again here..

Thank you Adriano, was Jg7 a nightfighter unit? Me-110?

Re: Mosquito or Beaufighter?
 

NO Micky!
The claim was submitted by 7th Staffel of Jagdgeschwader 4, which flew Fw 190s.
JG 7 flew Me 262 and other propellen aircraft by the end of the war ( September 1944 - onwards ).

RAF losses that I have are 3 Spits, Baltimore near Florence, Beau in Greece and No 272 Beau missing, and that might be loss from the night of 31/8.
