Re: 7 January 1944
91 Squadron sent 9 Spitfires on Ramrod 435 to Embry area as escort for 7 Mosquitos from 613 Sqn (2 of these Mosquitos returned early). Three other Spitfire Sqns also took part
91 Sqn took off and set course at 14:40 hrs and landed again between 15:55 and 16:25 hrs. The diary notes that "the Mosquitos came out without incident but the squadron stay in for a time and F/O J Andrieux shoots down a Fw190, one of two patrolling on the deck about 10 miles East of Berck. An exceptionally nice piece of spotting and shooting on F/O Andrieux's part."
He was flying MB849 and I have a time for the claim at 15:45 hrs
