Re: Z1007 shot down off Cyprus 6 June 1943

Brian,
I have a victory catagorized only as "June 1943" for two Hurricane IIb's of 127 Squadron, according to the 238 Sqn ORB. They claimed a Cant Z.1007 at Cyprus, exact date unknown. The pilots were P/O R W Bunyon and Sgt Hilton D R Raymont (RNZAF). It is a little strange that a 127 Sqn victory appears in the 238 Sqn ORB. In checking Jeffords RAF Squadrons it would appear that both squadrons flew both Hurricane's and Spitfires in this period. You will have to check both ORBs to see which squadron the two pilots were actually in. And then let us know what you find.

Enjoy!

Frank.
