Re: Lancaster Bomber 514 Squadron
Erich a bit more about LW encounters. May 19/44. Target Le Mans, Take -off 22:50 land 03:30. Two separate attacks nearing target by Me 109"s. One attack by FW 190. I referred to this one as being sharp. Don"t know why.
May 22/44. Target Dortmund. T/O 22:55 land 03:20. Can"t give sequence of events Had many attacks approaching and leaving target area. Mostly by Me 109"s. One FW 190was seen plunging down on fire near centre of target.
July 30 or 31 daytime Outside Arthur"s safe house. Three Me 109"s in loose vic formation at tree-top height heading to ward Chateaudun. Can recall no outstanding markings or camouflage possibly drab. One lone Spitfire 8000 feet above maybe not related to this trio.
July 20/44. Target Homburg. T/O 23:20 land 02:45. This was the dual attack by Me 109"s as related on page 9.
A long wait for a short but not quick reply. Cheers Alex Campbell
