Re: Info on 103 Fairey Battle losses on the continent during mid-May, 1940
It is great to see so much care being taken over the plane identities.
I am very cautous on a lot of the 142 Sqn plane detail as there was an operations tent fire on 2 June. I believe that a lot of the squadrons records were lost in that fire - and a lot of log books were also destroyed.
Hence when Rudd wrote the ORB in early October it is not clear he had much detailed info. to go on.
Certainly the Hobler crash serial no was wrong (see elsewhere this forum).
Incidently one of the other 142 crashes on the day of the Taylor crash was L5226 and it is definitely QT-Q (photo confirms) and many other photos of QT-Q have the Dagny-Lambercy location.
Kind regards
Iain
