Re: Convoy OS67 and He177, Fw200

So it appears that the Brander claimed the He177 and that Turner claimed damage to a second. However Cosh and Wilson are credited in many accounts with a Fw200 destroyed. Is this a mistake? Could it be that the actual results of both Wildcat and Mosquito combats being mistakenly added together and all attributed to the Wildcat flight by the RN, while the RAF made a separate claim?

It reminds me of accounts of 4 Bv138s shot down by Martlets in July 1943 whereas the correct attribution was a single Bv138 to 890 Squadron and two or three to a Beaufighter pilot of 404 Squadron.
