Grp Capt Harry Broadhurst

Hi guys

I understand that Grp Capt Harry Broadhurst flew operational sorties during the Battle of Britain.

Has anyone seen his logbook for 1940? If so, does it contain pertinent entries?

Cheers
Brian

Re: Grp Capt Harry Broadhurst

Hi Brian,
probably you know this , from The Battle of Britain London Monument Site:-

Broadhurst left 111 on 24th January 1940 and went to HQ 11 Group. In February he took command of 60 Wing in France. On 20th May 1940 he destroyed a Me110 near Arras. After the withdrawal to England in June, Broadhurst became Station Commander at Wittering.

During the Battle of Britain he flew occasional operational sorties with No. 1 Squadron, thus qualifying for the clasp.

Maybe 1 Squadron's ORB has something !

Thanks Bruce

I was hoping for logbook entries.

I wonder if the relevant logbook is at Hendon?
