Re: FW 200 Interceptor Units
Hello
Coastal's beaufighter had a few brushes with the Kondors. According to Beaufighter Aces of WWII, Flt Lt Bill Riley of 252 sqn scored a kill on the April 16th, off Scotland. The victim was FW 200C-3 Wk-Nr 0039, coded F8+AH of 1./KG40. 235 sqn. claimed two FW 200s damaged in May operating over the Bay of Biscay. And claimed one destroyed during June. I think I read somewere that the Beaufighter was introduced in Coastal to counter the long range recon flights, but am not absolute sure off it. Kind regards Nicolaj
