Re: Claims of 151. Wing on 6.10.41: 2 or 3 Ju 88?
Mark, something wrong (?). Are you sure about HMS Argus, there were 24 HC, which took off.
The whole stuff plus 16 next HCs were loaded on the borad SS Llanstephen Castle (11 000 BRT) with this over 500-550 RAF soldiers.
During uploading one HC was missing (maybe was earlier damaged), then we have 39 servicable HCs.
Keg Ostrow was English name, Kadnikov Russian one.
HMS Argus, maybe I am wrong, did not sailed to Archangel? He had low amount of fuel and 7.09.41 was the last day to despached carried Hurricanes, if not they had to returned.
If Argus had sailed to Archagel, he could despached HCs a few day later too, it would no matter in this situation.
BTW
Do you have all HCs numbers?
