Who shot down ................?
 

Hi guys

I believe some of the following were possibly shot down by RAF fighters over the Aegean or Eastern Med; if not, any ideas for reason of loss?

29/4/43 Bf109 4U+WK 2(F)/123 (Rapp)

19/9/43 Bf109 4U+IK 2(F)123 (Hofmeister)

6/12/43 Ar196 (0133) (Hoffmann)

30/1/44 Ju52 IV/TG1

8/5/44 Do24 CM+RB

12/10/44 He111 1G+BM (701243)

14/10/44 He111 5J+CP (701697)

Cheers
Brian

Thanks for the interest and info

But I am seeking the identity of the RAF pilots who may have made claims against those particular aircraft!

I can now add Ju88 on 10/10/43 shot down by Beaufighter night fighter.

Any ideas on who shot down what...........? Please!

Cheers
Brian
