Re: 23 July 1942, LW in North Brittany
Hi
Always a confusing combat, as the 263Sqn diary does not match up with the lufwaffe claim, of one pilot shooting down both whirlwinds.
I have confusing locations,
1) mid channel by fighters.
2) by FW-190's near Morlaix.
3) From Sqn records ...
'Currie last seen with four other a/c near the french coast'
'saw a whirlwind followed by two 109's, section turned in that direction, saw two more 109's and then whirlwind hit the sea'.
'later 10 mins from the english coast, a whirlwind seen with three 109's on it's tail.'
Steinmüller's claims are only two minutes apart,the 263Sqn pilots saw the combats 10 minutes apart,
I personally think there is still some doubt on who actually shot them down.
cheers
Jerry
