Hi Frank,
Joce Millard flew two patrols on the 15th February 1941.
Both were in Hurricane 'H' according to his log book however no serial number is recorded.
The first patrol lasted for 1 hour and 50 minutes and the second lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes. He records no details regarding the squadrons losses that day.
He flew with 'A' Flight on the 26th February. The flight was relieved by 'B' Flight. A short while after relieving them B Flight were attacked by a large number of 109's.
Holmwood, Foxley-Norris and Hone were shot down in the subsequent dog fight and I recall Joce telling me that Holmwood's parachute failed to open correctly after becoming damaged and he died.
Incidently, Joce claimed a 109 shot down on the 25th February over occupied territory, he watched it go down and was convinced it crashed but this remained unconfirmed.
