Re: 30/31/5/1944 Last Bombs to fall on Britain
Hello Laurent,


Thanks for this.

I got the detail from a comment on LEMB some time ago.

From Holloroedullioe (?) who listed under Operation Capricorn the following -

30th/31st May 1944: The last German bombs falling on British soil was in the night of 30th/31st May. Falmouth was attacked by 51 airplanes, 2 were shot down.

I just wanted to know which a/c took part andfind out how the two were lost, eithe flak or fighter ?

Til now I had always thought the last bombs to fall on Britain fell on Falmouth.

Thanks

Alex
