Re: Major Walter Nowotny loss 8/11/44
56 Squadron had been operating the Tempest V from June 1944, converting from the Spitfire IX, which they held from April to June 1944.
Before that they operated the Typhoon 1A, from September 1941, and then the Typhoon 1B from March 1942 until May 1944 (with an overlap with the Spitfire IX). Therefore it is highly unlikely that they encountered an Me262 in a Typhoon, more likely with the Tempest V whilst operating from B.80 Volkel from 1 October 1944, having moved to mainland europe, B.60 Grimbergen, on 28 September 1944. cheers Allan
