Re: 103 MU at Aboukir

Hi guys

I'm resurrecting this post as I have just noticed on a Canadian website mention of a RCAF pilot Wendel J.A. Nelson (actually an American in the RCAF) who apparently claimed two Ju86s shot down while with the MU Spitfire Flight. The website owner stated that he had seen the entries in the pilot's logbook.

He transferred to USAAF and was killed in January 1945.

Do we know anything about Nelson? He apparently served with 600 Squadron on Beaufighters (and possibly with 6 Squadron on Hurricanes)before being wounded and posted to the MU on recovery.

Cheers
Brian
