Re: 7 Squadron SAAF, Kos 1943

Thanks chaps, my info was from the War in the Aegean and the SAAF Officila history. I believe 7 Squadron scored on two occassions in addition to this.

12/02/43 1-0-0 Ju88 Lt Fisher, Rorvik and 2/Lt Rosholt
17/04/44 0-0-1 Bf109 Lt Richter.

From this information it looks like Capt. RP Burl should be in TOE with these claims in addition to another with 41 Sqn SAAF in 1944.

I have read that Van Vliet was a high scoring pilot but until now his only previous service I have located was flying Fairey Battles in East Africa with 11 Sqn SAAF, then with 1 Sqn SAAF in Libya in 1941. where he claimed a Bf109 on 17/12/41. Another candidate for TOE?
