11th August 1943, 10 Sqn RAAF Sunderland DP177

[gooberau]

Greetings,

I am investigating the fate of my father's uncle, P/O Roydon Adams, who went MIA on the 11th of August, 1943 on an ASW patrol in a Sunderland/DP177 over the Bay of Biscay. The family always maintained they never learned the fate of Roydon, and he was never recovered.

I have seen cut and paste references to a V./KG 40 report as to the downing of a Sunderland on the same day...

11.08.43 Staffelabschuss V./KG 40 Sunderland ?? - - Reference: CG MSS f. 213

Could I please ask:
- it is acceptable to tie these two events together?
- what exactly does "CG MSS f.213" refer to?
- is it possible to find that original reference "CG MSS f.213" online somewhere?
- I assume "Staffelabschuss" is a "pack kill" reference? No individual was confirmed with that victory?

Many thanks
Doug
