Re: Mock combat Tempest V vs. Dora 13
Yes George. Many Cdns flew Tempests with the RAF. The top Cnd flying Tempests was F/O DE Ness, DFC of #56. He was ranked (tied) for 4th behind an American(11 or 12), a Kiwi(9), a Brit(6) and another Kiwi(5).
The Tempest had to fly in from someplace as no Temepsts were based at Flensburg.
Husum is the closest base to Flensburg but this was a Kiwi squadron base. The next closest is Katstrup in Copenhagen.
Flensburg is on the Danish/Germany border NW of Keil. Husun is west of Keil at the end of an inlet from the North Sea.
