Re: Attack on Brize Norton 16 Aug 40
Hi Chris
Nice to meet you in public, so to speak! Do you come here often?
Did you spot my enquiry re Brize Norton on the 21/7/40 discussion page? I am having problems leaving messages and alos with my e-mail! Anyway, I enquired if anyone expecially you and Peter Cornwall had any additional information on the Brize Norton Station Defence Flight formed following the 16 August raid. According to my information an unauthorised ad hoc flight was formed by instructors of 2 FTS using Spitfires acquired from 6MU, these allegedly accounting for four e/a! One of the instructors was John Boulton, who was loaned to 310 Squadron and was killed.
I was also hoping that you might be able to advise me of the crew of the Wekusta 51 He111 shot down on 12/6/40.
Brian
