The Black Monday - 15th January 1945
After the eventful battle with the RAF elite bomber Squadrons, there was a short lull in the fighting for White 1. This lasted only two days, however. Gayko took White 1 up again on the 14th but did not encounter any enemy aircraft.
The next day was another story. At approximately 11.18 the Alarmstart sounded at Herdla. Only two minutes later nine Fw 190s are airborne, heading for a reported formation of enemy aircraft at Leirvik, Stord, to the south. In the lead is Oblt. Gayko in White 1.
This formation consists of six Mosquitos from 143 Sqd. Led by the famous French Wing Commander Max Guedj, four Mosquitos from 235. Sqd. and four "TseTse" Mosuitos from 248. Sqd armed with 57 mm cannon. Two Mosquitos from 333 (Norwegian) Sqd. are flying as outriders. This was a formation with highly experienced crewmembers. Their target is the already damaged cargo vessel Claus Rickmers that has taken refuge in Leirvik harbour.
When the German fighters arrive on the scene the Mosquitos have been badly mauled by the heavy Flak protecting the German vessels in the harbour. Guided by Gayko's commanding voice the nine 190s split into three Kettes and dive in to intercept the crippled Mosquitos. Over Selbjørnsfjordseveral small aerial duels develop.
One of the Mosquitos being targeted by three Fw 190s in Guedj's K-King and his wingman, Sdd. Ldr. Fitch. Fitch attempts to thrown off his attacker with a quick turn to the port but the Fw 190 is more manouvreable and hits Fitch's U-Uncle severely. The Mosquito flicks into two rolls before Fitch with the help of his navigator, Fg. Off. Parker manages to regain control of the plane. They are even able to fire a short burst at an Fw 190 attacking Guedj's Mosquito, unfortunately without effect as Guedjis shortly seen to crash into the fjord with his navigator, Flt. Lt. Langley.
Another Mosquito, flown by Flt. Sgt. Chew is fortced to ditch in the sea west of Slåtterøy Lighthouse. Further noprth one of the "TseTSe" Mosuitos actually fires his 57 mm cannon at a Fw 190 and apprently he scores a hit. The Fw 190A-3 of Uffz. Helbing, White 14, W. Nr 2127, is badly damaged and losing height rapidly. Jettisoning his canopy he desperatly looks for a place to make an emergency landing. Before he can attempt one, the smkoing BMW 801 quits and the Fw 190 plunges out of the sky to impact hard againts the ground. Helbing is killed instantly when his forehead is smashed against the Revi sight.
Two other Fw 190s are also lost. They were Fw 190A-8, White 4, W. Nr. 737 410, flown by Uffz. W. Zeuner and Fw 190A-8, White 16, W. Nr. 350 183, flown by Uffz. R. Lehnert. The exact cirumstance surrounding their loss is not clear but they proibably engaged two Mosquitos from 143. Sqd. in a fierce dogfight, which ended with all four planes going down and none of the crewmembers surviving. Eyewitnesses later related about a combat between twin-engined planes and smaller single-engined fighters shooting each other down.
Altogether 5 Mosquitoes were lost this day and sadly, only one cremember survived to become a POW for the remainder of the war. Their target, the Claus Rickmers not only survived the attack but also the war, only to be broken up in Spain in 1964.
