First Typhoon claim
Hello all!
In Thomas Typhoon and Tempest aces of WW2 is that first victory on Typhoon claimed P/Os I.M. Munro and N.J. Lucas (266 SQN) on 9. august 1942. But in Foremans RAF FC victory claims of WW2 is that F/L N.H. Sweetman (486 SQN) claimed Do 217 shared with 409 SQN Beaufighter over Holbeach on night 23/24. july 1942. Any details about this? Thanks! Michal

Re: First Typhoon claim
Could it have been that although they were converting to Typhoons, Sweetman was still flying a Hurricane? The use of Typhoons at night did not come to the fore until the next year

Re: First Typhoon claim
Well spotted Chris. 486 did not receive their first Typhoon until 30 July 42; first Typhoon op 25 August.
