As if I needed any additional reminders of what a dunce I am, my German contact's just reminded me that "things aren't what they used to be..", and the Politz where the refineries were, is now in Poland, hence has a different name, and the Politz I've been looking at, while close to where the Mossie came down, is nowhere near the former oil facility.

Live and learn....

Thanks again Guppy.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
