253 sqn Claims
I have found a photo in the AWM collection of 4 fighter pilots in Tunisia, circa 1943. The photo caption states 'that they were part of a formation that destroyed 4 Italian torpedo bombers in less than 5 minutes'. The pilots were - F/L KAH Mason (RAF), F/S CE Kerville (RAAF), Sgt RJ Cammock (RNZAF) and Sgt D Jackson (RNZAF).
I believe that the pilots were from 253 Sqn and the combat was probably on 5 Apr 43 (as discussed in a previous thread in 2005). Unfortunately the 253 Sqn ORB is missing it's entries for Apr 43. Does anyone know who made claims on this occasion.
Thanks, Ian Westworth
