Re: Spitfire from 1435 Squadron
Addendum
Two Spitfires lost this date (still unsure if 7 or 8th March 1944) The pilot who was seen bailing out of a Spitfire was F/O Chandler in MA474 - He was captured Sdr Ldr Clements was killed (and is still listed as missing) in LZ992 "Two Spitfires from 1435 Sqd took off from Brindisi (Italy) for attack on German floatplane harbour between Kumbor and Zelenika (probably Arado 196A-3 from unit SAGr 126). Results of attack are not known but Squadron Leader J.D.Clements in Spitfire MkIX LZ992 (Coded 'D') was shot-down by flak in a left turn after attack. He flew over the peninsula at Lustica, but hit the sea with full speed. His wingman F/O Chandler in Spitfire MA474 (Coded 'F') was also hit by flak, but managed to get some height in flight towards open sea and made parachute jump."
