Re: Sidi Barrani 1941
On September 3, 1941 there was a strong attack on the field of Sidi Barrani and nearly LG by units of Regia Aeronautica.
It involved 1 and 2 Sqn SAAF. But, according with ORB of 33 Sqn, even 6 + 6 Hurricanes (there is not shown the time!) made a standing patrol over an area approx. 10 miles S.W. of Sidi Barrani. "A" Flight (To Sidi Barrani South and patrol "Jumbo"): (What's "Jumbo"?!?) F/L Woodward S/L Warsden P/O Winsland Sgt Nourse Sgt Inglesby Sgt Stammers and after "B" Flight (Sidi Haneish North to Sidi Barrani South): Sgt Lowry F/O Moir Sgt McDonald F/O Noel-Johnson F/O Tofield Sgt Seamer (landed at Sidi Barrani North) In the ORB there isn't reported meeting/fighting with the Italian fighters ... but this seems strange to me! Are there books, testimonies, pilot's Logbook where I can search better for this 33 Squadron's mission? Regards, Daniele.
