The pilot of the Typhoon was Jean M. de Selys Longchamps . 30 Sep 1941 - 13 March 1943. Jean was probably the best known Belgian pilot of 609 Squadron. Originally a cavalry officer he escaped to England to join the RAF. On 29 May 1942 he baled out of his Typhoon R7647 which crashed at Sutton Village (Ely). On 20 Jan 1943, he decided to attack the headquarters of the German Sicherheitsdienst on Avenue Louise in Brussels. At this stage Brussels was out of range for allied fighters by daylight. Although he returned successfully from his attack he was not popular with the chain of command. Posted from the Squadron, he was killed in a flying accident on 16 Aug 1943 in 3 Squadron.

RAF Mustang Mk.I had already been well beyond Brussels by September 1942, so more accurately "Brussels was out of range for Fighter Command daylight fighters at that time", as at that stage the Mustangs were still with Army Co-operation Command.

no it means that night fighters did have the range.So, does that mean that they moved Brussels closer to the coast after dark?

But, depending on the speed of dark ............................
But only because Brussels was moved after dark, right? Because during the day it was too far away, so the fighters couldn't reach it...
