42611 Fg Off D S Kinder

The above was wounded with 73 Sqn in the Battle of Britain and then appears again in 1943 with 166 Sqn, being awarded the DFC. Does anyone know if he was he one of the original members of 1426 (Enemy Aircraft) Flt in the interim period?

Yup-Richard Forbes, Kinder, Ernest Lewendon, Douglas Gough, Fred Barr and Jack Staples were the originals-just need confirmation of Kinder
