Re: 111 Sqn 4.9.43

Hi Keith,

Back to 4 September 1943 again, the No. 111 Squadron ORB lists the day's victories as follows, but gives no types. The Wing ORB claims are in square brackets:

G/Capt. Gilroy: 1-0-0 [1 Mc 200 destroyed]
F/O. Young: 1/2-0-1 [1/2 Mc 202 destroyed, 1 FW 190 destroyed]
Sgt. Eccleston: 1-0-0 [1 Mc 200 destroyed, 1/2 Mc 202 destroyed]
Sgt. Trowbridge: 1 1/2-0-0
Sgt. Hall: 1/2-0-1 [1/2 Mc 200 destroyed, 1 Mc 200 damaged]
F/Lt. Parrott: 1/2-0-0 [1/2 Mc destroyed]
F/O. Woolgar: 1/2-0-0 [1/2 Mc 200 destroyed]
Sgt. Gray: 1 1/2-0-0 [1 1/2 Mc 200 destroyed]
Sgt. Plumridge: 0-1-0 [1 Mc 202 probably destroyed]

For the late-afternoon mission:
F/O. Kennedy: 1-0-0 [1 FW 190 destroyed]

For 13 September, the Do 217 claims were made by F/O. Mellors (one destroyed), Sgt. Plumridge (one destroyed), and another damaged by an unnamed pilot.

Cheers,
Andrew A.
