Nightfighter Losses 10 Mar 45
On the above night, a Lufthansa Ju 290 flying from Barcelona to Stuttgart was intercepted by a nightfighter which, due to evasive manouvres by the airliner, ditched. Could this have been Mosquito MM527 of 256 Sqn which came down in the sea 4 km east of Punta Maestra, Italy, 2000-2100 hrs, WO R E Chamberlain safe, FS N Goodyear killed? Failing that, 255 Sqn lost TA427 but in the early hours of 10 March?
