Hi

Just like to clear this up, I found 47 Sqn ORB entry for this date as follows:-
47 Sqn ORB
14:31 36º 4?N 26º 40E. Attacked by 2 Me.109’s.Formation opened up stragglers on port and starboard. Me’s dropped long range fuel tanks 15 minutes later one Beaufighter shot into sea. Second Beaufighter starboard engine on fire, heading east. Also ditched.

Barge straffing with 8 Beaus of 603 Sqdn.12:20 16:40

Beaufighter X “G”
Sgt A.Woodfield
Sgt P.Tuhill

Beaufighter X “Z”
Sgt H.Milne
Sgt T.Bashford

Beaufighter X “H”
F/O J.Hayden
Sgt J.McMaster

Two Beau’s were lost one each from 47(“H”) & 603 Sqns(LZ275)Does any one have some info on the fates of F/O Hayden & Sgt McMarter ?

Regards
