Re: a lancaster shot-down by Me163

Remi, all I could find was the description in the book Komet by Jeffrey L. Ethel that on the 10-4-45 at 1605hrs F/O Haslop in a Mustang of 165 Sqd. engaged a Komet. The Komet had been attacking RAF bombers raiding Leipzig when Haslop attacked it, but he blacked out attempting the follow the Komet into a sharp climb. Other pilots said the Komet spun out and crashed near Brandis, unfortunately there is no identity of the Komet or the fate of its pilot,

Regards
