Albemarle P1501 of 296 Sq was shot down on August8/9 1944 while attempting to deliver arms to Maquis, According to the report I've seen, the airplane was shot down by a night Fighter and crashed on August 9,1944 at Val D'ize near near Vitre. Have not been able to find a claim for airplane. Any information welcome. I've looked at the Theo Boden list and cannot find anything.
