Re: Ju88 Interception off Ireland, August 1942
Hi all,
I believe that this was a Ju88D from 1./F123 from Buc, (which had positioned to Brest) and was first intercepted by Woodvale based 315 Sqn (Polish) norh west of Barrow by F/Lt W Miksa and Sgt J Malec who damaged it but return fire forced Malec to break off and land at Squires Gate. On the Ju88's return it encountered 41 Sqn. east of Dublin ( not south west of Dublin which would take them inland over neutral territory). Two Spitfires and a Ju88 were identified by the Irish Coastwatchers flying off Dublin and North Wicklow and the Ju88 was last observed passing Carnsore at a low altitude. I believe it made it back to Brest, would very much like to identify the JU88. HTH
Regards
Tony K
