Re: The Mysterious Air Attack on Tripoli, May 3, 1941
Wellingtons used Fuka as a jumping-off point and that would have enabled them to reach Tripoli. (I think - Edit: checked and no Tripoli missions from either Fuka or L.G. 09, a new forward LG they occupied during May, which enabled them to go to Greece.)
But the 38 Sqn ORB is clear that it wasn't them, and 37 Sqn detachment still operating in Egypt doesn't report sorties that evening. Agree on your next question. As a note, it could have been the other crew, I thought the aircraft listing was alphabetically, but apparently that isn't the case. That crew was S/Lt Holmes (pilot) and L/A Evans (air gunner) All the best Andreas
