Hi guys

Many thanks for your responses. I saw that he stated in an interview that he had been shot down on these dates in question and even described how he was forced to bail out of the Bf 109 T-1 in considerable detail but did not find any additional information on these hence my question. I have noticed that first-hand accounts are often not particularly trustworthy when it comes to events such as these even taking into account that many of these were written considerably later than the events they describe and human memory is notoriously reliable. I understand why someone would claim to have achieved a victory but why claim to have been shot down is another matter! Thanks for your help.

Horrido!

Leo
