Re: 812 sqn Swordfishes in the Petsamo raid?
Hello Graham,
My typo V9732 should have been L9732 but does not fit after all .
Also with regard to V4380 again my typo.
Meant to have put V4370.
V4384 I think is out as Cat "Y" 18.7.41 meant that repairs would have to be done other than with the Squadron.
With regard to V4389, perhaps she crashed on board on return from the op, S/L Rideal unhurt ?
S/L E B Kiddell was involved in a much earlier crash L2829, 2-7-1940, and although taken pow was shot and killed whilst escaping.
S/L CJK or CJW Kindell was connected to Swordfish V4389 but not killed as he was in an accident in L2780 on 12-4-42 and again in Albacore N4390 on 14-6-42.
So I now offer these possibles -
L7644
L9765
P4136
P4277
V4364
V4370
V4375
V4380
V4389
