My father's encounters with night fighters were only on Stirlings. The Oboe mosquitos were usually operating at 28,000 feet to 32,000 feet since the higher they were, the greater the range Oboe had. I have the operational records for 109 Squadron and there are occasional run ins with both night and day fighters by the Oboe mosquitos, maybe 1 or 2 a month. 109 Squadron used to do over 400 sorties in a month. I think the combination of altitude and speed gave the Oboe crews a good degree of protection, especially once they got the pressurized Mosquito XVI. They certainly had more problems with flak on a regular basis, and some targets tended to be worse than others. The synthetic oil plant at Schloven and the I.G Farben chemical plant at Leverkusen seemed to have the best flak crews when trying to hit the mosquitos at 30,000 feet, almost every operation to those targets reported "intense and very accurate heavy flak"
Once again thanks for your help and I will look for your message Erich.
