Hi friends, from the Diary of the 467 RAAF squadron:

"15/16-7-1943, Cisliago:
467 Sq sent 5 Lancasters to join a small force attacking the electrical transformer station at Cisliago, and then to fly on to North Africa. F/L Carmichael, “A” Flight Commander, was attacked by a night-fighter which closed to 40 yards. Cannon fire killed the navigator. Sgt A.E. Murray, and damaged most of the maps. The crew reached North Africa without a navigator. F/L Hany Locke’s aircraft was hit by flak and damaged. One fuel tank was holed and, when they reached North Africa, they crash landed out of fuel."

May be the date was wrong, night of 16/17 instead of 15/16, the squadron involved was the 207. Anyone have some data from this squadron? Thanks

Mick
