The aircraft in request could be Baltimore FA669 of No. 454 Squadron RAAF. Excerpt from the book 'Alamein to the Alps' by Mark Lax : 'On 10 November, another loss, by this time was more certain. After carrying out a photo recce of the Stampalia & Cos
area the crew of FA664 : O reported sighting an invasion fleet of 14 landing craft escorted by seven aircraft.Lost to subsequent enemy action were Flight Sergeant John Joner, Flight Sergeant Joseph Cilvarry, Flight Sergeant John May and Flight Sergeant Dennis Nest.'The book is available on the net.

Regards

Christos
