Re: ID two Bf109s destroyed on 29 May 1944
Thank you, Pierre, for posting your findings. I think, as you say, this appears to have resolved the incident, although not as one would have wished.
There seems to be little doubt that the Fighter Command War Diaries is in error in stating the incident occurred 40 miles south of the Isle of Wight.
It will be interesting to see if a Combat Report has survived given that the entries in the 275 (ASR) Squadron ORB indicate the Typhoons had indeed destroyed two Mustangs. Thinking about it one would have thought this information would have found its way back to 183 Squadron, but that does not appear to have been the case.
For completeness I'll copy this to the RAFCommands thread.
Regards - and thanks again
Brian
