First Rhubarb of the RAF
Hi,
According to Foreman´s Fighter Command War Diaries, the first Rhubarb in history of the RAF was flown by 92 Squadron sometime in December 1940. I thought it was Bader´s No.242 Sqn what carried out it (with bloody results) on 12/1/1941. Can anybody help me with the date for the 92 Sqn ? Thanks in advance, Michal

Re: First Rhubarb of the RAF
Hi Chris and Fairlop,
I think that the very first Rhubarb operation was flown on the 20th of december 1940 by No 66 Squadron, P/O Bodie and Flt/Lt George Christie against Le Touquet airfield, but at the time such operations were not yet called 'rhubarb' but 'mosquito'. I am now trying to compile all rhubarb opeartions flown by Fighter Command squadrons. So any help will be welcome. Bernard.
