Fate of a Fairey Battle
 

Hello,

i'm looking for the history of an aircraft of the 150th squadron RAF: Fairey Battle JN-P. Was this aircraft shot down in may or june 1940 ?

Thanx.

Thank you G-ASEA. You're very helpful. Some other sources tell this aircraft was damaged the May 10th 1940 ... I'm in trouble.

150 sdn did lose 4 Battles on the 10 May. JN-C and JN-I. Plus to others. So may be P2184 is a replacement ?
