Re: British nightfighter claims 30/31.7.40

Brian

Highly interesting (as usual), it is finally very wellcome to have someone speaking up regarding these friendly fire "incidents". Nobody today (I hope) thinks this was done by malice by the unfortunate crew, and I can only imagine what they must have felt when given the truth...
Just out of interest (and sympathy I might add) is it known what they claimed? To take the lid off these friendly fire accidents actually add one more dimension to the air war we all are interested in. I have noticed before your interest in the subject and can we hope of some kind of publication in the future Brian?

Robert

Foreman in his books does not, of course, mention anything about the unfortunate British claim in question, but neither does he mention any other relevant night claim during the stated night, so what exactly are you after? Could there be any other claim made during the night by something else than Fighter Command?
