North Sea December 4/5th 1943

Hi,

Other than a single Stirling lost on this night from Bomber Command, were there any others over the North Sea, Coastal, FAA or 2 Group losses recorded.

TIA

Steve

Hi Alex,

This is the single Bomber Command loss that night, just wondering if there was any others.

Did German coastal or Navy flak claim anything would you know ?

Cheers

Steve

Hi Alex,

Great stuff, thank you. There are no night fighter claims this night so I would presume coastal or naval flak.

Regards

Steve
