Re: Who shot down a Bf110 of NJG1 during the night 12-13/10/1941 over Belgium ?
Hi Luc,
In the Interception/Tactics report (AIR 14/3371) for this night there are 6 combats involving 3 Group and 2 combats involving 4 Group plus a total of 23 encounters.
The only combat were the E/A was claimed to be hit is this by a 3 Group Wellington (squadrons are not identified in this document only the groups).
”Meppel – 10 miles N.E. 2331 – 12,000 ft. Ju 88 appeared 20 yds in front of our Well. lC slightly below and to port , gradually crabbing nearer. Our A/C climbed preparatory to climbing and diving and jinking over E/A. E/A passed below and RG gave him two short bursts at 250 yds and claims to have registered hits. E/A disappeared in cloud. No S/Ls or flak. Moon shining behind our A/C.”
Wrong aircraft type and the combat was not over Belgium. There were three combats over or near Charleroi (2047, 0100 and 014? hrs) but no claims were made.
Regards,
Peter
