As far as the friendly fire issue is concerned, there is a write up on 49 Squadron's Roll of Honour for Sgt Potts, see http://www.49squadron.co.uk/Roll%20o.../Potts_SH.html It is not clear from that whether this particular bomber crashed from lack of fuel or whether it had also been hit by a Spitfire, probably the former. |
Janwhin, that page you link to explains that other returning aircraft from 44 squadron (on the same mission) actually were shot down, but this occurred at Dunbar. Someone has confused the 49 Squadron aircraft that crashed at Broomhill, out of fuel, with them I think.
