Re: Ju88 Interception off Ireland, August 1942
Hi Steve,
Apologies for causing confusion. The Ju88 after leaving Brest routed into the Western Approaches, Georges Channel and Irish Sea as far as Barrow where the first interception took place by 315 Sqn. It was returning south through the Irish Sea when 41 Sqn. encountered it off the Kish Lightship. A permament lighthouse is now located at the site of the Kish Sandbank. It is clearly visible from Howth (Dublin), Bray and Greystones. The Ju88 was within the 3 mile territorial limit but not overland. 1 Staffel and 3 Staffel of F123 were frequent visitors to the Irish Sea and many observations were made from the Irish Coast as they used Tuskar Rock and Carnsore Point as nav aids. Not all were as lucky as this Ju88 to survive two attacks. Regards, e mail to follow tony K
