Re: 485 Squadron, Channel Dash, 12 February 1942

Some corrections and additions to Alex's information...

Crawford-Compton was flying W3774 (OU-R) not W3747
Francis was flying BL385 (OU-F)
Grant's W3528 was coded OU-C
Rae was flying AD114 (OU-G)
Sweetman's AB860 was coded OU-U

Even though they were probably all 109Fs it is worth mentioning that Crawford-Compton's and Rae's claims were for Emils not Friedrichs.

All of the "kills" were confirmed apart from Rae's which was classified probable.
