Re: Spitfire brought down by Royal Artillery - Normandy.
Hi Cheesey, Six-Fifty and Graham

I've just had a look at my friendly fire notes for the period 6-20 June and have a staggering total of 16 Spitfires, 1 RN Seafire, 2 RAF Mustangs, five US P-51s, one P-47 (also 5 Dakotas, 2 Mosquitoes and one B-26) all probably the victims of allied guns/fighters 'over the beaches'!!!!

I haven't had time yet to fully research these incidents, but just to let you have some idea of the extent of friendly fire.

Cheers
Brian
