Re: RAF night fighters on the 11/12.8.40 night

Thanks to all for the replies on the 87 Squadron P/O Comely claim. I assume that it will be included in Brian's next BOB book.

Brian, do you have a pub date?

Best wishes,

Peter

Re: RAF night fighters on the 11/12.8.40 night

The KG27 a/c crashed at Sturminster Marshall at 02:00 hrs according to the sites I can see.

Comely's sortie on 11/12 was 22:55 to 00:35 hrs. Therefore the He111 crashed one and a half hours after he landed.

Aces High lists Comely making a claim for a Ju88 over Portland during the day, I assume he (Mr Shores) was thinking this came with the other 87 Sqn claims, but the ORB says only 6 a/c of B Flt were involved

Not before the end of the New Year, unfortunately.

Cheers & Happy New Year
