KTB for 8March1945 Norge NordGulen JG.5

[andy bird]

Can anyone confirm that the KTB for Norway mentions the Beaufighter attack on shipping in Nord Gulen Fjord on the 8 March 1945 and that of a Beaufighter being shot down by JG.5 as they left 15 miles out.

Ian Stewart 65 Squadron Mustangs mentions seeing two fast aircraft heading for the Norwegian coast, then spotted wreckage and two half inflated dinghies.By which time it was to late to give chase.

I have all the RAF, and 455 RAAF information and first hand accounts. Just trying to find the needle in the haystack to give some indication of who shot the Beaufighter down for a veteran of 455 Squadron.

Kind Regards
