Re: V-1 flying bombs

Hi Alex

My slip-up here! The navigator's name was Eric Blood Hopkinson.

I have had a look at 68 Squadron's records, and sadly Arthur Harvey did shoot down Harris' Mosquito. I have a copy of Harvey's combat report annotated accordingly. In addition, there is no record of any V-1s being claimed by him on the dates you suggested or otherwise. In fact, according to the ORB, he hardly flew during the period in question. UNLESS, of course, the ORB is incomplete, but it appears to have been properly maintained. I don't know what the answer is.

Over to you, Alex

Cheers
Brian
