242 Squadron 28/05/44 Spitfire crash Italy

Hi,

I am looking for any information relating to the crash of a Spitfire IX of 242 squadron on 28th May 1944.

The Spitfire in question was piloted by Sgt. A. T. Moore, coded 'R' and the only information the ORB gives is that it was on a bomber escort to Terontulo (this may be in fact Terontola), no a/c serial is given. In fact it may have been escorting B26 Marauders possibly from the US 12th Air Force.

There doesn't seem to be any info on the web regarding whether the Spitfire was subject to flak or fighter or whether Moore baled out or crash landed or indeed where actually he did crash. There appears to be no website for 242 Squadron and very little about their activities around this time of the war.

He did indeed end up in Stalag Luft 1.

Many thanks in advance,

Russ
