Help Please: 10 Group Roadstead - June 15th 1943
On June 15th 1943 263 Squadron with the support of 8 Spitfires from 616 Squadron and 8 Spitfires from 504 Squadron undertook an early morning Roadstead which took them to a few miles NE of Sark in the Channel Islands.
In the ensuing encounter RNZAF pilot R. J. Sim of 616 Squadron was shot down in Spitfire VI BR319 YQ-C, RAAF pilot M.T. Cotton of 263 Squadron in P7000 dropped his 2 x 250 lb bombs and sank the German Minesweeper M483 before being himself shot down. Does anyone happen to have transcripts of the 540's, 541's and any existing combat reports for 616 and 504 Squadrons for this particular Roadstead please? Any other additional information regarding this particular operation would be much appreciated. Thanking you all in advance. Paul
