Re: RAF 323 Squadron in 1940 in the Mediterranean?
Wrong squadron.
30 June 1940.
223 Squadron.
Wellesley I. L2654
Op: Massawa.
Crew.
Sgt. B. Poskitt +
LAC. L P. Jebb +
Took off 0435 hrs, Summit, one of five aircraft detailed to bomb Massawa. The formation was attacked by one CR.32 and two CR.42 fighters, which probably shot this aircraft down. Both are commemorated on the Alamein Memorial.
