Re: Downed Spit

Engleworth,

A hard search and perhaps a post on the rafcommands.com forum may help as well.

Still, the only find I could make so far with the location you mentioned was as early as 4 September 1940 when Sgt John Wright crashed with his Hurricane P3676 of 79 Squadron at Wentworth Close. He died the next day.

I realize that the type, year and even age of the pilot (Sgt Wright was 24) don't quite match with your recollections, but perhaps this is a start anyways.

Regards,

Leendert
