Intruder operation over Norfolk June 1st 42?
Gents,

Squadron leader H Ashworth "B" Flight commander, No.218 (Gold Coast) Squadron based at R.A.F Marham reported that he was attacked by a "single engined fighter" at 03.11hrs on June 1st 1942 while coming into land from operations. No damage was inflicted on his Stirling, however his gunners returned fire.

Can anyone confirm if intruders were active and could a single engine fighter reach RAF Marham. ?

Regards

Steve
