151 Sqn claims 15/16 Jan 1941

Hi,

According RAF Fighter Command Victory Claims of WW2 Vol2 by John Foreman F/Lt D.A.P. McMullen and F/Lt K.H. Blair of 151 Sqn both made a claim for probably destroyed Ju 88s on the night 15/16 January 1941. Both were flying Defiant but according to Tony Wood´s they were flying Hurricane lla. www.151squadron.org.uk/ does not mention the aircraft used but only mentions names of pilots and this seems to support Hurricane and not Defiant. According to the site Blair’s claim was for a damaged Ju 88.

P/O Stevens also claimed two destroyed this night but there are no differences between different sources here.

Can anyone confirm which aircraft these pilots flew and if it was Defiants the names of the Air Gunners?

Thanks in advance,
Peter
