Re: First Rhubarb of the RAF
Hi Chris and Fairlop,

I think that the very first Rhubarb operation was flown on the 20th of december 1940 by No 66 Squadron, P/O Bodie and Flt/Lt George Christie
against Le Touquet airfield, but at the time such operations were not yet called 'rhubarb' but 'mosquito'.
I am now trying to compile all rhubarb opeartions flown by Fighter Command squadrons. So any help will be welcome.


Bernard.
