Horrido!

Leo

...agree!!

Hi Rod,

How many Mossies were lost that night?

Cheers,

Hi Mark,

...absolutely zero!! If I recall correctly, returning Mossie crews didn't report any attacks or damage. On 2/3 March 1945, two certain and one probable claims were also made, but at least a Mossie was actually damaged by cannon fire, although, again, none were lost.

Hi Rod,

Thanks for that, as expected then.

I had it in the back of my head that Becker may have been "the man" on jets.

I believe Addi Glunz got three by day.

Cheers,

Mark
