Claims by 272 Sq. Beaufighters on 28 april 1942
According to "Fighters over the Desert", on that day two Beaufighter pilots claimed to have shot down a Do.18 each during an attack to an Axis convoy in North Africa.
Because on the same day an italian CZ.501 of the Bengasi based 196a Sq. RML was badly damaged by "three Blenheim" I think that it could be the same episode. May anyone give me any further detail of these claims (especially, the hour) and tell me whether there were other claims against Axis seaplanes in that area that day? Thank you Gianandrea

Gianandrea ,
According to the 272 Sqn ORB, Beaufighter Ic "O" (P/O Robert Edmond C Deppe + Sgt James Mathew Carlin (obs)), and "V" (Sgt Yves Charles Tedesco (Belgium) + Sgt Blakeley (obs)) were each credited with a Do-18 between 1050 and 1545 in the Gulf of Sirte. No further details given, and no combat report has been located. Frank.
