Case description

On 1944-04-30, an aviation observation was reported at or near near Anzio, Italy. The catalogue lists the aircraft and observers as RAF Beaufighter (600th Squadron) pilot and radar officer. Its time field reads 21:00. A reddish-orange luminosity followed the aircraft while evasive manoeuvres were reported. NR is not defined in the catalogue code table, so it is retained without converting it to a positive radar claim. Source: Dominique F.
