Could anyone confirm that Hptm Techmar of 5./196 shot down Sunderland W3994 of 10 (RAAF) Squadron on 30 July 1942 of Spanish Coast.

Many Thanks

If you do not get an answer in the meantime, I will when I get home but don't you mean Hptm Werner Techam?

All I have in notes (and this is not in Les & Tony's list) is a 10 Sqn ac was lost probably to 5/196-no names or times

Many Thanks Chris, likewise managed to find via one of the relatives of Sgt Feally the probable surname. But, no times etc.,

Once again thank you,

Andy

PS: Second and third eye op went well, sight gradually coming back to right eye.
