Colleagues.
I found a contradictory entry from November 13, 1943, about the loss of a No. 47 Squadron Beaufighter LX928/D.
Shot down by fighter attacking convoy near Leros. Starboard
engine on fire.
Drove ashore on Agios Nikolaos beach after being hit by return fire in a bomber engagement. Squadron Leader Stanley Muller-Rowland Sqn
Leader (pilot) and Lieutenant Commander J. D. Andrews were rescued by a fishing boat and returned to their unit via Turkey.
Shot down by Ltn. Emil Clade 7./JG27 N Levita.

Please help me determine the cause of this aircraft's loss. If I understand correctly, it was a joint mission with No. 603 Squadron to Leros, where No. 603 Squadron also lost an aircraft LX977/Z due to engine failure.
