One for our Italian members!
Hi guys
I have an account of a Blenheim from Malta landing at Catania in early 1943, its mission to take photographs of newly-arrived glider containers at the side of the aerodrome. Mission completed, it was able to take off under fire and though pursued by a couple of Bf109s, was able to reach Malta. Can anyone provide additional information, please? Fact or fiction? Cheers Brian |

Unluckily the last quarterly report of the Catania airport ("relazioni trimestrali") is that one of december 1942. An indeep research in the Comando Aeronautica Sicilia papers at the Historical Archive of the Italian Air Force should be done in order to answerr to your question.

Hi Gianandrea
Good to hear from you once again. Is it feasible to send an e-mail request to the Historical Archive? If so, do you have an address, please? Cheers Brian |

I have a feeling that Gianandrea's "in deep research" might suggest quite a bit of time, money and effort even if the answer is there!
