Re: Ju 88 of 4/LG1 lost on 23 of December 1944

Hello,

There were indeed numerous claims by RAF Mosquito squadrons that night. Perhaps L1+KM was shot down by F/L K.W. Stewart and F/O H.E. Brumby of 488 (NZ) Squadron who claimed 1 Ju 88 destroyed 10 m W of Maeseyck at 19:56 hrs (and another Ju 88 at 20:40). Other claims seem to be either too early or too late (the same applies to a sole claim by 425 NFS USAAF). Stewart and Brumby were flying Mosquito Mk.XXX MM822 on this occasion.

Hope this helps a little,

Ota
