Can I ask Alec what Lepper's take-off/landing times are for the two claims?
Kind Regards

Hi Johannes,
JL Tully (my great Uncle) took off from Wick around 13:15 on 30 July 1942. I need to check my records but from memory he was overhead the Bergen area at around 15:00 hours British time (would that be 16:00 Norway time?).
If anyone has any records of the area where his aircraft impacted the ocean or the photos of H. Lepper and/or his FW190 responsible it would be most appreciated.
Uncle John has one last surviving sister. To date the family have known very little of his fate. This diary entry for Lepper is a revelation.
Many thanks
Johnathon
