Re: Tonies or Judies attacking the BPF

I expect the claims on 12 April were Judies. Most of the claims later in the day were for Zekes, and therefore a Navy aircraft feeds my hypothesis but as you say it is possible a single Tony was among a group of Kamikaze. I think my original thought derived from a claim by an Australian Spitfire pilot on the Darwin Raids in 1943.

A Myrt would be a reasonable misidentification for a Jill or a radial-engine Judy or a Kate...

I wonder if the Oscars claimed may have been "Hamps"?

regards

Keith
