PRU Mosquito lost on 30/03/1945
Good night to all!
I am verifying some losses on PRU Mosquitos and had some trouble with P/O Raymond Morris Hays ( Can/J88928 ) who lost his life on thee 30th March 1945. On the RCAF archives it is said he lost his life aboard Mosquito MM386 ( bu this serial is of on PRXVI given to the USAAF ) Another source ( Me 262 Combat Diary by Foreman ) it is said that a Mosquito serial RF971 was shot down this day by a JG 7 Me 262. Again checking some files, I found that RF971 was claimed to have been lost on 25th March 1945. The possible Mosquito in which P/O Hays lost his life is MM396 who stalled while taking off from Benson on the 30th March 1945, but I do not know if the crew died of injuries, from this accident. Please, could someone help me to: 1- Identify the crew of Mosquito RF971 and inform me when it was shot down? 2- Clarify IF MM396 was in fact the Mosquito flown by P/O Hays? If yes, who was his navigator on the tragical take off? Did he died too? Thanks in advance for all help given Sincere and friendly yours Adriano |
