Question Re: Missing airman : RAF matricule 48949

Hello,

I have too a new shovel but French historians are banned to dig aircraft by DRAC Nord - Pas-de-Calais. It seems so easy for you, British historians, to dig a/c in the North of France. You are so lucky. But this DRAC Nord - Pas-de-Calais is not fair with French historians. I do not understand this politic against French historians... But I confirm to people in the world: French historians want also to work on that kind of subject. But unfortunately doors are closed for us.

I have worked on the Hurricane at Neuvilly and could not identify this pilot. This is indeed a Hurricane No. P3533 shot down around May 18th 1940: no doubt. But what about the pilot? How did you identify him? I do not trust 100 % a/c number to identify a pilot, but trust you and the RAF...

You dig this aircraft and have information... So would it be possible to have some details given evidence to identify this pilot. I have a direct witness saying that Allen was shot down in Belgium so I am lost...

I hope you could give us some more useful details.

Thank you for helping.

Bye
