Hi Ed,

I see it didn`t take long for Kevin to get cracking on this forum, I should have mentioned to Kevin that it was you some time ago that told me who shot down the Ju-88.

I wondered though if you or anyone else on here has a combat report put in by Yapp,Crowther or Corkett. ? Or any extracts from 253 ORB ?

As always, any help very much appreciated.

Regards.
Dave.

Hi Dave, after I posted this I did a search and found your original post ! I should have done that first and appologize for the duplicate post ! But as you said a combat report would be great and give us a smaller search area as 1 mile west of Westray is a massive area :(

thanks again

Kevin
