Luftwaffe rescue buoys

[Franek Grabowski]

One of the stories! Gładych could not have met Eder in the air, his famous combat over Vechta being on 8 March 1944.

Thanks Franek, are there any known Luftwaffe losses which link to Gladych's claims for this incident,

Hello and a Happy new Year to you ALL,

Now, back to the Rescue Bouys.

Some were "captured" probably broke moorings and drifted ashore on English coast.
They were repaired and put back in use but with british markings.

I read this somewhere but please do not ask me where as it was some time ago.

There is a section with colour drawings in the Book "Battle of Britain" by Len Deighton.

I have not as yet seen any drawing or photo of a British Rescue Bouy.

All the very best for 2008

Alex

Hi Franek

I didn't mean to imply that I was God! God forbid! Anyway, who told you about my lover - for heaven's sake don't tell the wife!

Have a good 2008 - I look forward to reading your opinions!

Cheers
Brian
