Judy claim 6.04.1945
Both 1830 and 1844 made claims for a "Judy" on this date. My initial research indicated that 1830 shared in 1844s claim. Can anyone confirm which pilots were involved. I have it as Salmon of 1830 sharing with Godson, Attkinson and Wilson of 1844 in one claim, and Cameron of 1830 adding a second.
