Loss over France – Night 9/10 May 1944
Hello/Bonjour,
I wondered if there was a loss which fitted with the statement below, made by a crew of RAF No.605 Squadron for the night of 9/10 May 1944. “F/Lt Woods and F/O Ray on freelance to EVREUX. At AVORD they saw an aircraft burning furiously on the airfield. Seems extremely possible that the pilot panicked and crashed on realising that a Mosquito was in same area.” Best regards, Frederic |

Re: Loss over France – Night 9/10 May 1944
Hello Junker,
So, perhaps losses for K.G. 66 which had also Staffeln based on this airfield at the time? Or perhaps also a possibility with units which used this airfield for night training? I forgot to mention, on the ORB "record of events" the crew states also "aircraft single fin". Best regards, Frederic |
