Four RAF Mediterranean losses - info needed please
Hello everyone
Can anyone give any details about the aircraft involved in the following four losses in the Med?
FENDER Edwin Stuart, Flight Sgt 939536, 272 Sqn, killed 23/12/41
GREAVES Arthur Seymour, Sgt 581440, 272 Sqn, killed 23/12/41
They were Navigators in two Beaufighters shot down by a Bf-109 flown by Oblt Gerhart Homuth near El Aghelia.
Pilots were P/O J H Baker and P/O N K Lee respectively.
DEWHURST Lawrence, Flying Officer 66012, 39 Sqn, killed 24/08/42
Pilot of a Beaufort, shot down while attacking the Italian tanker 'Giorgia' off the Greek coast.
GALLEY Denis, Sgt 1098272, 227 Sqn, killed 16/05/45
Navigator in a Beaufighter, piloted by Sgt E J Havnar from Rhodesia, FTR. Havnar became a PoW.
The information I have gleaned so far is from Nesbit's 'The Armed Rovers' but the book does not include any specific aircraft details.
Many thanks.
Regards
Simon
