Mosquito HJ944: Took off at 19:25 hrs for Scramble. 10/12/1943
After the start soon saw searchlights and ack-ack batteries in action. The Mossie closed quickly on one target which was taking extremely violent evasive action, climbing and diving steeply and simultaneously making sharp turns. Despite violent evasive action by the enemy, Norman fired four short bursts that caused some strikes on left wing. Short bursts and hits were observed on the port wing. The Mosquito’s guns then jammed and the R/T and intercom also had gone U/S, but Norman continued the chase for some moments before turning homeward. The combat was broken off. Dornier Do.217 was claimed as damaged. Landing at 19:55 hrs.
