Re: 10 Sqn Whitley claim, Weimar, Aug 16/17 1940
Simon,
Make of this what you will! 16/17th August, 1940 (Zeiss Optical Works, Jena). 'Of the other squadron aircraft (No.10 Sqn RAF), P9433, flown by Flight Lieutenant G. L. Raphael, was attacked by a Bf110 just before reaching Jena. Leading Aircraftsman [sic] A. Cowie (whose promotion to Sergeant was snarled up in the administration pipeline) got in three good bursts from his quadruple Brownings and claimed it as 'a possible'. Flying Officer G. W. 'Pinpoint' Prior and his crew had actually seen this Messerschmitt taking off from Weimar, west of Jena, but didn't witness the combat. See: The Whitley Boys The Story of No. 4 (Bomber) Group's operations in the first year of WWII. Donnelly,G. L. 'Larry' DFM. Walton-on-Thames:Air Research Publications,1998. p.179. Col.
