Me-410 vs Mosquito combat

[BC]

My account of the first successful Mosquito combat with an Me 410 over Britain (13-14 July 1943) was published in Vol 3 of 'The Blitz: Then and Now Vol 3' by After The Battle. The Mosquito crew picked up the Me 410 over the Straits of Dover and pursued it all the way up the East coast to Felixstowe, Suffolk, finally shooting it down from 25,000 feet. As Chris states, there were no real dogfights at night. The Me 410 was considered relatively easy prey for Allied long-range escort fighters in daylight.
