Sorties Flown By RAF Banff Strike Wing 1943 - 1945
April 09 1945.
An anti-shipping sweep through the Skaggerak and Kattegat by 143, 235 and 248 squadrons failed to attack any shipping but spotted three U—boats on the surface heading towards Norway. All three U-boats were attacked by the strike force, which resulted in all the U—boats being sunk. These were the U—804, a type IXO TJ—boat of 1144 tons, another type IXC U—boat, U—843 of 1120 tons and the U—1065 a type VITO U—boat of 769 tons. One Mosquito was lost. This was DZ592 a film unit aircraft, crewed by F/Lt W.M.O. Jones and F/O A.J. Newell. This aircraft was filming the attack on the U—boats when there was a large explosion on one of the submarines, which disintegrated, throwing debris into the air. The aircraft was caught in the explosion and spun into the sea. Damage was so severe to three other aircraft that they had to make emergency landings in "Brighton", the code name for aircraft landing in neutral Sweden.
