W.E.Gore

Hi everyone,
I am a new member with 40+ years of researching into WW2 Air combat.

I have been interested for some time in W.E.Gore who flew initially with 607 Sq in France with some success before being shot down and wounded. According to "Men Of The Battle Of Britain" he joined 54 Sq at Hornchurch in August after his recovery and then rejoined 607 in September before sadly being KIA. No accounts of 54 Sq mention him at all and it would seem unlikely that he would have in fact been posted to them (as an experienced Hurricane pilot to a Spitfire unit !). I wonder if in fact it was 504 Sq he joined rather than 54 Sq, can anyone help ?
