Re: 824 Squadron losses on 20 July 1940

Hello again,

No, the 50o Stormo didn't claim the Swordfish. Iit seems that according to Italian sources it was captured between 15 and 20 July, i.e. on 20 July to correspond with the 700 Sq. loss.
I haven't found any corresponding Italian fighter claim so it might have been shot down/damaged by Italian AA or suffered engine problems.

Best wishes/Håkan
