Re: Identity of Bomber Command aircraft/crew involved in combat with German intruder on 23/24.4.41?
Hi Theo,
Interception and Tactics report from this night has two combats on this night. The first involving a Stirling over the target but the other involving a 3 Group Wellington:
S. of WEYMOUTH, 0001 hours, 5,000 feet. E/A with no lights fired with four gun at Wellington of 3 Group.
21 Wellingtons was sent by 3 Group – 9 Sqn 7 a/c, 149 Sqn 9 a/c and 311 Sqn 5 a/c. There is no information about this combat in the ORBs of 9 and 149 Sqns but this does not necessarily exclude the possibility that one of those sqns were involved. Unfortunately I do not have access to the ORB of 311 Sqn.
Cheers
Peter
