Re: Beaufighter JL898 shot down 7/12/43

Yes, I believe so.

Certainly PR Bf109Gs flew recces to Cyprus, and I would imagine III/JG27 Bf10Gs with droptanks would also have reached out towards Casteloriso/Cyprus if required to do so, for example if pursuing a Beaufighter from Cyprus.

Cheers
Brian

Not convnced-Hackls claim was off the island of Peljesac (Balkans) and in any case was the day after. He was from 12/JG 27 so IV not III Gruppe

Hi Chris

You are correct, I just assumed that the enquiry related to an Aegean incident. I should have checked before responding.

Cheers
Brian

Thanks very much for your responses, Chris and Brian.

So:

1) Is there a loss that matches Hackl's claim?

2) Is there a claim that matches JL898's loss?
