Bf 109 shot down at Burg, 24th March 1944

[David Pausey]

Hi Adriano

I have the following from 605’s ORB:-
24th/25th March 1944.
W/C B.R.O’B.HORE, D.S.O.,D.F.C. and F/O R.C.Muir. Mosquito VI UP/L.
Took of Bradwell Bay 20:50 hrs and landed Woodbridge 02:25 hrs.
“Flower” Patrol to Stendal and destroyed a Me109 at Burg. They came back from near Stendal on one engine and landed safely at Woodbridge.

So the mission was at night and the ORB does not say whether the 109 was in the air or ground. I do not know of any Luftwaffe losses that match this claim although JG's 300,301 and 302 did lose aircraft this night none of which were lost to a Mosquito .

Cheers
David
