Re: Claim by 600 Sqn Blenheim night fighter 13/14 March 41
Cannot be sure about the particular aircraft in the March 41 as Form 541 is missing from ORB for that month. However, if you look at preceding months and follow a particular aircraft letter over several sorties you can see the same plane with two and three man crews, with no apparent pattern.
This suggests the aircraft had a third crew position and probably a turret. Whether the lack of a third member is intentional or just a relic of poor record keeping is difficult to tell, but there are several sorties recorded with three crew so the system seems to be working
