No.25 Sqn claims July 1940
Hi,
I am looking for more information about two claims or possible claims by No.25 Sqn in July 1940.
From the ORB http://www.oldrafrecords.com/index.php
10 July
Form 540 - P/O Rofe, patroling convoy, chased enemy machine and managed to get a burst of 4 seconds in when crossing French Coast. Result unknown.”
Form 541 - Blenheim X, P/O Rofe Sgt Pye, Convoy, 14.45-17.10
I have not found any Combat Report at the National Archives and it is not mentioned in RAF Fighter Command Victory Claims WW2, Pt1 by John Foreman. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
Night 19/20 July
Form 540 - “X/ Raid carried out by P/O. Cassidy 00.15 hrs and F/SGT. Lindgard 01.05 hrs. Enemy aircraft engaged, result unknown.
Form 541 - information missing between 17/7/40 and 25/7/40
From RAF Fighter Command Victory Claims WW2, Pt1:
P/O E.Cassidy claimed a He 115 unconfirmed destroyed 12m E Walton
F/S J.G.Lingard claimed a He 115 damaged off Walton,
For Lingards claim I have found a Combat report (Medworth air gunner) but nothing for Cassidy. Can anyone confirm the name of Cassidy´s air gunner? Any additional information about the claim would also be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Peter
