DV644 - the date of this incident was 2.8.42, as correctly noted against the entry for DV641. Boston AL696, did not blow up, it crashed on landing, as related in its own entry.
The same date error applies to HX480

Mosquito DZ740 could not have collided with DD707, as that serial does not exist. DZ707 is likely.

Seems you are correct again Andy Our crash files for south west England agrees with that. They say DZ707 survived and it was not finally w/o until 26 Feb 1944. As an aside, when hearing the name Predannack my initially thought, aha Scotland. Luckily I looked it up....not so.....  Cheers Stig |

As per our 247 Sqn history "Rise from the East", Typhoon DN542/ZY-Z was hit by flak on a mission on 26 Jul 43. It force-landed at Lympne and was not repaired.
This accounts for the listed SOC date of 3 Aug 43.

Exactly the same situation with DZ373, which was actually lost on 12.3.43.
says:
Cat E missing 13.3.43
followed by:
SOC 12.3.43 !!!

How odd Andy It of course begs the question "what" was w/o 10.6.1944? An old booklet 'The Mosquito crash log' says DZ607 was the aircraft in question, but that cannot be correct either. Whatever the AM78 card states it certainly isn't that. Seems you have to check 169 Sq ORB as well..... Cheers Stig PS: Doh, I had the answer right in front of me  Chorley lists it as DD607 and so it says in the DA100-DZ999 booklet as well. |
