11 Oct 40-who shot something down.
On this evening, 6 Do 17s of 1 & 2/606 attacked Liverpool. 5 made it to the target area, the 6th attacking Birkenhead. 2 aircraft were lost-one coming down in the sea 50 miles SW Holyhead (1/606, Williams & Watkins of 611 Sqn) and another from 2/606 was reported missing, claimant uncertain. Jack Foreman's book said 611 Sqn claimed 2 more destroyed (10 miles south of Caernarvon and another which crashed on Capel Curig but which was in fact the one that returned to Brest 2 crew having baled out) and a final one damaged over Liverpool Bay (probably the 2/606 aircraft which was also attacked by 312 Sqn). So for 2 destroyed and one damaged, the RAF claimed 3 destroyed, one damaged, one probable (611 Sqn) and 2 damaged (312 Sqn). Am I correct?
