please start a new thread then chaps if need be.

I have such minimal information on the night air war concerning RAF ops and the Mossie nf's in general.

ok I pulled up a page out of my data files.

Mossies : ranger, intruder, night support, bomber support. Can anyone precisely define these terms for me ?

Serrate first used on the night of June 14, 1943.

this is old info from my files : June 14/15, 1943 to Sept. 6/7 1943

233 sorties despactched
179 sorties completed as patrols
1180 Serrate contacts
490 held and followed contacts
33 resulting in visuals
20 resulting in combats
13 destroyed a/c and 1 probable, 4 damaged

are these realistic figures ? the info from the early 1960's......
