801 Squadron claim Fw200 December 1941.
This was 801’s first major carrier operation since it had reformed as a Sea Hurricane unit in August 1941, having been largely devoted to defence of the Scapa Flow base in that time, although its aircraft had shot down an Fw 200 while operating from Eagle, covering an outbound Singapore convoy in December 1941.
https://www.key.aero/article/everyth...-sea-hurricane Did they? I have never heard of this victory before. It is very specific but I cannot find corroborative evidence for any of this in Royal Navy records. According to my sources HMS Eagle was refitting from October 1941-January 1942. Chris Goss would have found a corresponding combat if there had been one in this period. best regards Keith
