Night 10-11 January 1944 - RAF/Allied/Luftwaffe operations
Hi all, I have anothe long shot which I am not able to puzzle out. So far I do not know if this post belogs here or to the Luftwaffe section.
I have read following note in the No. 19 Group RAF ORB about one of operations carried out during night 10-11 January 1944:
23.30 45°48’ N 08°30’ W contact 2 blips 25 miles – later 3 – Homed for 1 hour – at 600 ft. 3 unidentified A/C seen going into cloud at 500 ft. Contact indicated that A/C were circling. Nothing seen on water.
00.40 44°18’ N 08°15’ W Contact on 3 A/C again – not see, appeared to be circling
Would it be possible to identify those "3 unidentified A/C" or at least to state whether they were RAF/Allied or rather enemies?
So far I was unable to find any info or clue.
My presumption due to the position and fact there were 3 of them is that it would be not RAF/Allied patrol aircraft but some kind of long-range fighter or reconnaissance aircraft, i.e. Beaufighters, Mosquitoes or Ju 88s.
Any ideas or clues please?
TIA
Pavel
