Re: P-47D in the 258 Squadron RAF questions.
F/L Harry Francis Whidborne, 30 Sqn, is credited with a Tojo on Nov 4, 1944, in Thunderbolt II HD289. This is credited in the Enemy Aircraft Game Bag for 1944, and in the Squadron ORB.
S/L Neil Cameron, of 258 Sqn, is credited with a half share of a Tony, on Feb 11, 1945, in Thunderbolt II HD292/L. It was shared with W/O J McCredie, a gunner on a Liberator VI of 99 Sqn. I could not find a reference to the combat in the 99 Sqn ORB. Cameron's combat report is in the Squadron ORB; also credited in the EAC Adjudigated Claims Against EA/C, Feb 45.
Enjoy!
Frank.
