Re: Portreath Wing 21 July 1944

Wg Cdr Yonge (235) claimed two Do 217s destroyed; Flt Lt Passey (248) Do 217 destroyed, Flt Lt Nunn (248) He 177 probable, Sqn Ldr Williams (406) 2 Do 217s destroyed (one shared with Coastal Command although he vehemently disagreed with that), Fg Off Meakin (406) 3 Do 217s destroyed.

As you know Meakin was not credited with three kills. Williams with one confirmed and another shared or credited to another crew (Meakin?). Yonge with a shared kill with FO Green; Passy and Collins shared a second, Williams and Meakin are the claimants for the shared third kill. The probable to Nunn and two damaged (Meakins?)?
