Re: FW 200 Interceptor Units

Hi
this is just from memory,
my notes still packed....
But I think 263Sq whirlwinds were used from cornwall, for FW200 hunting and E boat hunting in late 40/early 41, No successes.
I think spitfire IIa LR's ( 66Sq?) were based in cornwall for fw200 hunting etc, early '41 ?
And likewise I think beaufighters ( 125 Sq?)operated from wales.
Only attack I recall reading about was 247Sq over cornwall, ( nr RAF portreath )
cheers
Jerry

PS there was also a fighter flight on the isles of scilly , 1449 flt ?
