Re: Hurricane P3533
Paul
Thanks!
Norman's revised edition has P3535 on page 28. This was 607 Squadron, so unless a transcription error somedwhere along the line then I think we can probably rule that out. An interesting possibility might be a clerical error with 607 Sqn, and this was in fact P3533 and not P3535? If P3535 was incorrectly recorded and should have been P3533 then it might make some sense. That aircraft was evidently shot down over Cambrai (certainly the right area) but apparently crashed at Bachy, some long way from this particular crash site. Unless, of course, it was this crash and the pilot was buried at Bachy? However, that might all be a far too simplistic and convenient "explanation" for the P3533 mystery.
Peter Cornwell might like to comment?
PS - Having now looked at Norman Franks' first edition as an afterthought, page 28 does list P3533 but simply as unallocated and lost in France. He does not attribute it to 145 Squadron.
The mystery endures....
