Hi Tim,
On the night of 23/24 January 1943 I./K.G. 60, II. and III./K.G. 30, K.G. 54, and II./K.G. 76 raided Philippeville, but some aircraft turned back and followed the coast to attack Bone. One Ju 88 was claimed destroyed north-west of Philippeville, and two were claimed by night fighters based at Setif.
A Beaufighter from No. 153 Squadron claimed a Ju 88 destroyed twenty miles west of Phillipeville. Nos. 600 and 225 Squadrons also had success, claiming two Ju 88s destroyed and one Ju 88 destroyed respectively.
Cheers,
Andrew A.
