Re: Banff Wing claim 30 Oct 44
Hi
Alex Crawford in "Shipbuster - Mosquito Mk XVIII Tse-Tse" has something on this. He says there were two a/c from 248Sqn NT225/O (F/Offs Cosman/Freedman) and PZ301 (F/Offs Hayton/Day) with two a/c from 235Sqn. The Ju88 was sighted at 8000ft to NW of Holmengra. Cosman made the first attack using six Molins rounds plus m/g no hits observed. One of the 235Sqn Mosquitos attacked next and the Ju88 was severely damaged. Cosman attacked again but no hits observed. Finally Hayton attacked from dead astern and the Ju88 blew up and crashed into the sea. Crawford does not state how the claim was credited to pilots. Steve
