Re: WWII Fleet Air Arm - H.M.S. Indomitable - 857 Sqd Grumman Avenger Identification Question?
Mark
Sorry to question your details, but from where have you the info that JZ538 crashed on 24 jan 1945?
Air Britain details regarding this airframe are:
Indomitable to 849Sqn (P1H:'376') 3.2.1945; To Maryborough 23.8.1945
Does NOT sound like it was shot down or crashed in Jan 1945...
JZ563
29 MU to ATA Hawarden 4.7.1944; RNARY Coimbatore; 857 Sqn Indomitable (W1H:'357/W') 10.44; stalled ,stbd wing dropped, hit X turret, CAT X1 1.12.1944 (S/L HR Smith); Bad weather, FL, damaged prop 29.8.1945 (S/L CH Brown RNZN)
Neither does this one appear to have been involved in any serious accidents
