Hi Keith,

F/O. Irving Farmer 'Hap' Kennedy's claim for an FW 190 destroyed was actually made on a later mission. From 15:45 to 17:25 ten Spitfires of No. 111 Squadron patrolled the Straits of Messina. The time of Kennedy's victory was 16:15, and the location was from off Cap Rasocolmo to two miles inland of Pizzo. He was flying Spitfire Mk. VC EE750.

All the best,
