Hello Kutscha,

Thanks for the account from the Classic book. Interesting. So, at least Lancaster of 61 Sqd had combat with Me 262s.

Hello mhuxt,

Thanks for the information about the ORB. I googled it and found the ORB. I tried to find any mention of fighter attacks in the whole document and only found very few. Maybe air combat was not generally mentioned in the ORB? I can’t imagine that they had so little enemy fighter contact during their whole career.

But the information about the mission on 9 April incl. the particular Lancaster they flew with is very interesting. Thank you!

Regards,
Roger
