Re: Fulmar claims
Keith,
In answer to your question, I have found only two claims by Fulmars against Vichy French aircraft. The first is rather vague. According to Shores & Williams in Aces High, Lt. R.C. Hay, RM (808 Sqn. Ark Royal) claimed a share in downing of a "French floatplane" on an unspecified date in January 1941 somewhere W of Sardinia. This is also shown in Sturtivant's FAA Aircraft 1939-1945 on page 160. The note in Aces High states that this claim was "recorded from his (Hay's) memory later." The other claimant is not mentioned. The second claim was by Sub-Lt.(A) P.E. Palmer, RNVR along with his TAG L/A W.A. Taylor (807 Sqn. Argus) on 18 May 1942 for a D.520 of CG III/6 flown by Lt. Salaun. This occurred off the North African coast W of Algiers. The claim can be found in Those Other Eagles, Malta: The Spitfire Year, 1942, and the Sturtivant book. Regards, Tom
