SAAF Beaufighters

Did the South African Airforce Beaufighter squadrons (16 sqn 19 sqn) make any claims against axis aircraft?

Re: SAAF Beaufighters

Hmmmmm, I think No 19 SAAF claimed one He 111, which hit the hillside in vicinity of Surdulica while evading in low flight, brought down by manoeuvre while on sweep of communication Leskovac - Gevgelija. It was early autumn of 1944, I 'd have to dig in papers for the exact date.

P.S. Leskovac and Surdulica are in SE Serbia, and Gevgelija is in Macedonia.
