Re: 14/05/1940 P/O P.L.Jarvis 87 Squadron

Hi uc,

My interpretation of events on May 14 is as follows:

P/O Jarvis (L1616) and P/O Saunders (L1612) of No. 87 Sqn shot down west of Maastricht and Liege ~09.30 by (probably) return fire from He1111's of I. or III./KG27. (Although these were escorted by I./JG27 there are no claims from this unit at this time and location.)

SL Parnall (L1639), F/O Royce (L1950), P/O White (L1916) and Sgt Hamblett (N2492) of No. 504 Sqn shot down ~17.45 around Ath by III./JG26 (which unit was escorting III./LG1 on a bombing raid to Mons).

P/O Mackworth (L1834) and F/O Joyce (L1646) of No. 87 Sqn shot down ~19.00 around Bruxelles by I./ZG1 (which unit was escorting II./KG1 on a bomb raid to northern France).

I hardly dare to say it, but please note that my interpretation of events differs from Peter Cornwell's TBOFTAN. Of course open to any comments or corrections.

Regards, Pieter
