Hurricane individual codes 607 and 238 sqns

further research shows the Bf110 was on a mission to Portland when it was shot down at 17:40. (The Blitz, now and then). looking at a map it seems to have been taking a scenic route and maybe was overflying Southampton as well…

The Bf110 was 5F+CM from 4 (F) Aufkl 14 at Cherbourg; the He111 was possibly G1+GN from KG55
Both involved in a raid on the Supermarine works at Woolston near Southampton

Many thanks guys. It seems it is usual to quote serials without codes in all the references I have found; is there a document anywhere that matches up both of them?

A transcribed copy of the ORB we have NEAM records this as a He111. No reference to serials

Thanks

The logbook of Francis Blackadder records that he shot down both a BF110 and He111, although there is only a combat report for the He111, on the day and was flying R4189.

R4189 was lost on 28th September with the pilot Flt Lt M M Irving.

Francis had flown the same aircraft (R4189) earlier that morning. His usual aircraft was P2874 (AF:F) which he had flown the previous day

Similarly a Bf110C-5 was shot down around the same time by Flt Lt William Blackadder of 607 Sqn. Anyone know the serial/code for his Hurricane?
Many thanks

607 Squadron – Francis Blackadder

Unfortunatley the logbook only has the aircraft serial and not the individual code letter..

However during the period in question Francis usually flew AF:F

Give me a few days to look through my 607 Sqn notes and I’ll see what I can do….
