Re: The Mysterious Air Attack on Tripoli, May 3, 1941
I again doubt that entry.
At squadron level
40 and 140 were still in England. Detachments may have been in North Africa or Malta, but no records I have seen.
70 is missing before 4 May but there isn't a single Tripolis raid for the rest of the month so I doubt that.
At Group level
No. 204 Group only mentions that 9 Wellingtons went to Benghazi, Berca, Derna. There isn't a single attack on Tripoli for the first half of May 1941 at least.
I cannot find any evidence for this Wellington raid.
All the best
Andreas
