Tirpitz - 617 v 9
I'm in the middle of a book about 617 Sqn post the 1943 dams' op (doco to be broadcast on Ch 5 in May I think).
Over the years, I've heard many stories of the tussle between 617 and 9 over ownership of the bit of the Tirpitz presented to the RAF by the Norwegian government at the end of WW2. Stories (some clearly exaggerated?) seem to have included parachute drops, pneumatic drills, helicopter flights and car chases.
I'd like to include an account of this 'battle' in the book (not the TV doc as that's already finished) - does anyone have any publishable memories of the antics?
