Re: 455 RAAF Hampden UB-S 7.7.43
Geoff,
The incident involving the No.455 Sqn RAAF Hampden TB.1 (P5302:UB-S), and the 9./JG5 Me109, took place on the 7th July, 1943. 455 Sqn RAAF Hampdens were finally withdrawn in December 1943, and replaced by Beaufighter T.F.Xs. It was thought for many years, that No.455 Squadron's first, and only "Kill" in WWII, was a 1./Ku.Fl.Gr.706 Bv138, shot down on 4th April 1943, by AUS400473 F/O (Pilot) Malcolm Sydenham HUMPHREY RAAF, in Hampden TB.1 AT152:UB-F. I think this and other postings show otherwise. Chalk up another one fellas! Col. Last edited by Col Bruggy; 10th April 2013 at 19:45.
