Some questions about 418 Sq. RCAF operations

Flying both daylight Rangers and night Flower operations I find this Squadron particulary interesting.

Does anybody know smething about the victims of F/L Kipp during the night of 3 May 1944?

02./03.05.44 1 Fw.190 s/d SW Ammersee, 1 Fw. 190 s/d over Gunzburg (Günzburg, NE Ulm – probably Leipheim) and 2 Fw.190s s/d over Sarrebourg by Mosquito VI of 418 Sq. RCAF F/L Robert Allan Kipp.

In another thread a 418 pilot misidentified a Fw.190 for a Arado Ar.96 trainer and as I can find no Fw.190 losses at this date and in this area, maybe Kipp was engaging training aircraft...?

Cheers

Monaco

Re: Some questions about 418 Sq. RCAF operations

Has anyone more information about Uffz. Arno Pilz of JG.103 lost on 16.05.44 KIA over Strelasund. I believe, that he could have been a possible victim of S/L C.C.Scherf and
F/O C.G.Finlayson of 418 Sq, RCAF...
