Re: Beaufighter Nightfighter Sqns in 1944
This ties up with a story related to me by an ex-RAF glider pilot that PSP was (or at least was planned) to be flown into Arnhem by glider. I seem to remember that he mentioned that it was for a night fighter strip. I always thought this tale was somewhat unlikely, bearing in mind the weight of PSP and the quantity required. Maybe the much lighter Square Mesh Tracking would have been used. Anyway, at last some corroboration of this story!
