Cause of death of Beaufighter LX928/D

[sergey]

And what Beaufighters was Clade fighting north of Levita at 08:55?

It all depends on the times used. At this time, we were on BST (GMT+1) while Germans were CET (also GMT+1 so a claim for 0855hrs would not match with a loss at 1042hrs while even if the Germans were and hour ahead, there is nearly an hour's difference. However, I am no expert at times used. There is also the possibility of another aircraft type if indeed one was lost

Colleague, thank you very much. Finally, everything is clear!

[Chris Goss]

Do you still need a scan of the F540 if so which Squadron?

[sergey]

If possible, 46 squadrons for the same period.

[Chris Goss]

I thought you wanted 47 Sqn which I have downloaded and have now downloaded 46 Sqn (who were not flying 13 Nov 43)

[sergey]

I was able to open the 47 squadron, but now I’m trying to open the 46 squadron and the computer can’t handle it again – poor voltage.

[sergey]

Thank you so much! I received everything!

It is strange that on November 15, only the flight of the 47th Squadron with the crash was recorded, but there is no mention of the flight of a group of 4 aircraft from the 47 Sqn, 3 603 Sqn and 2 B-25Gs, which we wrote about in the topic "B-25 in the Aegean Sea". This event is in the 603 Squadron log!

This November 13 engagement is not recorded in the 47 Squadron log, but it is in the 603 Squadron log. During a morning sortie (takeoff 07:25), at 09:47, 6 Me 109s attempted to attack a B-25G but were repelled by one of 47 Squadron's Beaufighters.
