Re: 13.05.1940 Neerwinden MIA ?

Arnaud,

I can only repeat what I said in my earlier post, namely, 'According to my notes taken from the No.59 Squadron ORB in NA(PRO) AIR27/554, P/O C.J.E. CHAMBERLAIN and crew failed to return from an evening reconnaissance sortie on 13 May 1940 their take-off being timed at 18.30 hours'. So, my source for the time of take-off will have been the 'Details of Flights' section of the ORB rather than the 'Daily Narrative' itself - I forget the exact terminology used in the ORB but the information is filed separately. The time of the crash near Neerwinden on 13 May 1940 involving the deaths of three unidentified RAF airmen is not known.
