[Brian]

Hi Geoff

Yes, I know of the incident but as yet don't have much information. In fact Avengers from 854 Squadron accounted for two V-1s. I have dates and some details in interested.

Cheers
Brian

Hello Brian,

Yes, I'd be interested in some additional details of the Avenger - V-1 incidents. It intrigues me that such relatively slow aircraft would achieve such a success. Must speak volumes for the skill and prescence of mind of the crews, as well as a large slice of luck. Where there other V-1 kills by bomber crews?

By the way, as long as you keep preparing titles like "Fighters over Darwin" and "With the Yanks in Korea", I'll keep queuing up to buy them.
