Re: 72 Sqn 11 Jul 41
Interesting Chris/John
I don't have the ORB but Gifts of War and the same Lamberton was shot down just three days later, July 14th, in another Gift of War, R7219.
In the book's defence it clearly states that R7219 had belonged to 74 Sq until July 5th when it was transferred to 72 Sq, so on the 14th Lamberton certainly was with 72 Sq as you say. It would be interesting to know if W3171 was transferred on the same day?
Poor Lamberton spent the rest of the war in a Stalag, but at least he survived his two nasty encounters with the Luftwaffe.
Cheers
Stig
