Re: 18.08.43 RAF loss
Hmmm interesting thanks guys much appreciated.
Possibly an overclaim I would agree. I should mention that in reviewing his Leistungsbuch it appears this was a night mission bridging the 17/18th of August 43. Not sure if that changes anything but perhaps the shoot down, if it did occur, was listed on the 17th. Regards Jeremy

Re: 18.08.43 RAF loss
Hi Jeremy,
It might be a case of misidentification. Beaufighter VI, V8593, crew of F/S J Wilkinson and F/S P Catchpole, 604 Sqn, was damaged in combat with e/a whilst undertaking interception patrol near Scorton on night 17/18. The a/c crashed on landing and was SoC, both aircrew injured. See Fighter Command Losses, Vol 2, 1942/3. Cheers, Bruce Last edited by BruceMk11; 14th February 2010 at 06:53. Reason: Addition.
