Mosquito HR632/Q: Took off at 12:59 hrs for anti-shipping sweep in the Skaggerak and Kattagat. 12/03/1945.
The patrol had been completed without incident, and the formation was 50 nautical miles SW of Lister (Norway), when an interception was carried out by enemy fighter aircraft. Reports of other aircrew suggest that Mosquito HR632 had been straggling up to this time – Position in formation No 2 in starboard section – rear squadron. One pilot of No 333 Sqn – acting as fighter crew to the formation – saw an enemy aircraft attacking and apparently scoring hits on a Mosquito at the rear of the formation. He shot the enemy aircraft down but saw nothing further of this Mosquito HR632.
