Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hello,

Post # 882 - No.4:

Possibly: No.450 Sqn RAAF Kittyhawk III FR239.

450 Sqn RAAF ORB (F.541) 9/10/(42). p.357 of 1503.

Kittyhawk III FR239 - SGT HOLLOWAY*, R. D. [sic]. Duty - Bomber Escort. Up: 0940 - MISSING. One of our a/c (FR239) is missing. F/O Schaaf observed a/c hit the sea, N. of El Rahman, 250 yards from the coast.

450 Sqn RAAF ORB (F.540) 9/10/42. p.337 of 1503.

AUS. 3288 P/O F. R. Schaaf, one of our pilots, observed an aircraft hit the sea 250 yards from the coast, north of El Rahman. R.79002 Sgt Holloway, R. D. [sic] failed to return from this operation and is posted missing.

* R79002 Sgt (Pilot) Robert Oliver "Bob" HOLLOWAY RCAF - Missing 9/10/42 - POW.

An excellent account of the shootdown (by flak), and ditching of "Bob" Holloway RCAF, on 9 October, 1942, can be found in:

Kittyhawks Over The Sands - The Canadians & The RCAF Americans.
Lavigne,Michael et al.

Re: Post # 882 - No.4:


Aircraft is 450 Squadron RAAF Kittyhawk III, FR249/OK-F which forced landed in sand dunes and onto beach north of El Daba after combat with Bf 109s on 22 October 1942. Pilot Sgt Gordon Lindsay RAAF was captured, POW.


Col Bruggy's previous message mentions Sgt Holloway's aircraft FR239 but this was coded OK-S.


How can I get a copy of this photo. Ebay is obviously in German. Can you contact seller privately.

Hello Doug,



Look on the right hand side of the page and click on Verkäufer kontaktieren


You can send a message in English but I don't know if it will be understood.




Best,
Ed

Hello Doug,

Nice one! I did mention Holloway/FR239, only as a possibility.

Good to have it cleared up.

Col.
