145 Squadron 8 August 1940
Hi guys
Can anyone enlighten me with regard to 145 Squadron's claims for 8 August 1940, please? The ORB states three separate scrambles, as follows: 0930: six Ju87, three Bf109s claimed destroyed 1245: Blue Section claimed three Bf110s, one Bf109 destroyed 1610: six Ju87, two Bf110 destroyed. Total for day: 21 destroyed. Congratulatory messages received confirm these figures. However, one recent book shows only 9 claims (one Ju87 on first scramble, one Bf109 and one Bf110 on second scramble, and four Ju87 and two Bf109s on third scramble). My own records suggest: 9 Hurricanes/145 Squadron, off St Catherine’s Point 08:31-09:55 P3521 Flt Lt R.G. Dutton 2 Ju87 P2918 Plt Off A.N.C. Weir Ju87, Bf109 P3221 Flt Lt A.H.
