Re: Mosquito anti-shipping strike (7th Nov. 1942)

RAF Bomber Command Losses Volume 3 1942. by W.R. Chorley gives just one Mosquito lost on this raid. Details as follows :-

105 Squadron Mosquito IV DK328 GB-
Anti-shipping.
Took off 1256 Marham to attack a 5,000 ton merchant ship, the 'Elsa Essberger' off the entrance to the Gironde.
Crew.
F/L. A N. Bristow. pow.
F/L. B.W. Marshall. pow.

I have no details of Coastal Command losses on this day.
