Ireland dash9es), May 1945
Looking through some UKNA (can't say TNA, somehow) 'pieces',
mainly SALU daily reports dating to May 1945 (dont have exact ref Nos to hand, sorry), I came across a couple of tantalising refs on or about May 4th 1945 to dashes across the UK by one or two (German) aircraft which clearly intended to reach Eire. One of them passed near to Liverpool, and (I think) ended up in the Irish sea. Not a shoot down though.
While dashes to Sweden from further east are well attested, I have not heard anything about these attempts. Anyone know anything about them?
Best
