NO. 6 BOMBER GROUP (WINTER 1944-45) 129
Over Kleve there had been little opposition, the enemy
apparently concentrating his fighters around Goch where
there were numerous combats in which five ferries were
destroyed and three damaged. Three of the victories were
credited to Canadian crews. On the homeward flight an aggressive
FW.190 made four attacks on an Alouette Halifax
flown by F/O A. R. Lowe with F/O Paul Hall and FS J. W.
Hyde as rear and mid-upper gunners. On the third pass both
gunners saw their tracers strike all around the fighter. Nevertheless
the Jerry pilot came in again to meet another
deadly blast of fire. The FW broke away, disappeared for a
few seconds and then was seen to hit the ground in flames
and burn for five minutes. Half an hour later a second
FW.190 was sighted by FS J. Johnston; mid-upper gunner
in a Lion kite, as it crossed over the Halifax following an
unsuccessful attack. Johnston quickly brought his guns to
bear and made the fighter burst into flames. The rear gunner,
FS R. P. McKessock, also got in a burst as the 190
dropped away and exploded on the ground.
