Re: Do17 of II/KG3 shot down 10 July 1940
Hi Peter
Thanks for the crew details.
This is what I have for 10 July regarding intruder/s over Wales around midday:
1121-1231 3 Spits from 92 Squadron (Kingcombe/Bartley/Barraclough) claimed Ju88 probable over Llanelly
1200-1318 2 Spits from 92 Squadron (Hill/Wright) He111 probable near Barry
1130+ S/Ldr JS O'Brien (on visit to Pembrey) took off in 92 Squadron Spitfire and claimed Do17 shot down/probable (according to Myles Duke-Woolley - date not confirmed but seems likely this was the incident)
Additionally, W/Cdr Ira Taffy Jones wrote about chasing a Ju88 in an unarmed Henley, at which he fired his Very pistol (see 'Tiger Squadron' p.225)
Any comments/corrections would be appreciated please.
Cheers
Brian
