Re: Mystery attack on Banghazi Port 31-10-41

I notice that the next night, 1/2 Nov, 148Sq took a heavy beating after what at least seems to have been a heavy raid against Benghazi.
All RAF losses are listed as due to fog in their landing areas, but any damage received over target would probably be very conveniently forgotten. Since the aircraft lost never flew again, any such damage could easily have been destroyed in the actual crash landings.
One night difference....could have been worse....
Of course no proof, but I rather believe one of the reports to be "one day off" than believe the Germans were waisting ammo into thin air....
Cheers
