Re: Night Intruder ops

Hello, Martin
Thanks for that. Would those two squadrons be the only ones operating on intruder duties that night?
I am asking because I am researching the loss of a particular Wellington. The main stream BC aircraft flew from target ( Karlsruhe) more or less direct to the Belgium coast; my aircraft flew a more southerly course and was shot down by a Bf110 near Beauvais, somewhat south of the main stream.
However, he reported being half heartedly attacked just beforehand by a “Ju88”, but no claim or record was seemingly made by any Ju88.
I was wondering, therefore, if the “enemy aircraft” was mi-identified and that he had, in fact, been attacked in error by one of the night intruder aircraft, either a Mosquito Blenheim or Havoc ….
Any thoughts or opinion??
Than you for your time,
Regards
Andy BW
