Vichy raids on Gibraltar 1940
Hi guys
Is my information correct? I believe six LeO451s from I/GB61 raided Gibraltar on 6 July 1940. No losses. On 24-25 September 1940, two raids on Gibraltar by an assortment of 59 LeO451s, DB-7s and M.167s at 1415 on 24th. No losses. Second raid at 1615 (on 25th?) by 83 assorted LeO451s, DB-7s, and M.167s. LeO451 of GBII/23 shot down by AA fire (from ships or land?) with loss of Lt Court, Adjt-chef Chuzeville, Sgt-chef Roques and Sgt Robineau). Second LeO, from GBI/11, commanded by Sous-Lt Pagot returned to base damaged. Can anyone add to the above. Have any articles been written about these raids? Cheers Brian |
