I have attached a photograph of one of the ejector chutes recovered from a crash site in France which would seem to indicate the crash location of P3533. The pilot was evidently killed in the crash.
I am not currently at liberty to identify the crash location, but I am hopeful that someone might be able to attribute P3533 to a specific squadron. Obviously, it is not 46 Squadron and the AM Form 78 failed to specify the alternative squadron to which it was obviously issued.
Can anyone help?
