Re: RAF Bomber gunner claim during the night 5-6/07/1941 over Belgium
Hi,

No.218 Squadron had two encounters on this operation claiming the destruction of a Bf110 and a JU88. Flying Officer Ralph ( Wellington Mk.Ic T2887 HA-W ) claimed a Me110 on the return flight. Sergeant Banks ( Wellington Mk.Ic R1436 HA-L ) claimed a JU88 over the Zuider Zee and reported it was seen going down in flames crashing into the sea below. I have yet to find a combat report for either.

Regards

Steve
