Re: Attack on Gadurra at the end of June 1941?
From my notes based upon the records of Gadurrą airport I see only three bombardments in june 1941. The only one with aircraft losses happened in the late hours of 9 june: 2 S.79 of 281 Sq. burned out and their torpedoes exploded (they were the alarm section), plus one S.79 of the 279 Sq destroyed (this aircraft was waiting for repairs at the moment of the attack); 2 other S.79 of the 281 Sq damaged, two Ju.52 destroyed and one damaged. Four germans killed and four other germans injured.
The italians estimated that the attack was made by 8-10 Wellingtons.
