PR Spitfire pilot wounded 5 June 1940

Hi guys

Any ideas who the pilot was (212Sqn/PDU), and aircraft involved?

Also, the unit had an armed Spitfire. Any ideas?

Cheers

Have you got any details on the sortie?

PDU flew 3 sorties and 212 Sqn 4 sorties on 05 Jun 40.

Best Regards

Brian,

Kent was in France at this time so it seems likely it would have been a pilot of 212 Sqn who was wounded on 05 Jun 40.

Regards an armed Spitfire, P9453 was a Type G and was used by 212 Sqn towards the end of the French Campaign.

Hope that helps

Cheers

Andy Fletcher
