And File AIR 27/341/66 do gives
P/O G. Pepper (Pilot) P/O Toone (Nav) Took off at 20:44hs. Landing at 23:59hs. They claimed a "He 177"...serveral burts...starboard engine caught fire. Combat took place 35 miles SE of Beachy Head, at 23:27hs. Probably T7216 (not sure about the first letter...ORB only register 7216 as the serial number). Adriano |

George Pepper was not RCAF, he was a Canadian serving in the RAF. For more info on Pepper and Toone, see: http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/sho...-P-O-J-H-Toone Beaufighter V8380 was a Mk.IF, not a IIF as I stated in the above link. T7216 was a Tiger Moth! Beaufighter serial possibly X7816. Col. |
