Re: 882 Sqn Wildcat loss/claims 1944
Drew,
If they won an award whilst serving with the RAN/RANVR, it will be in the book. Not all with a full citation, but many are. Are you aware that Sherborne was aboard the Blue Star Liner, "Imperial Star" (12,427 t), on 27-9-1941, when it was torpedoed by Italian aircraft in position 37.31N 10.46E. She was taken in tow by HMS "Oribi", but the tow was not successful and she was slipped early on the 28-9-1941. Depth charges were placed on board and she exploded and sank. She was on a voyage from Liverpool to Malta with 8,000 tons of war supplies. There were no casualties. http://www.bluestarline.org/imperial1.html http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article59178492 I believe Sherborne was a Gunner aboard the Imperial Star.
