341 Squadron 27-8-1943 Mouchotte and Magrot
On 27-8-1943 341 Squadron lost pilots René Mouchotte and Pierre Magrot over NW France.
One of the Spitfires they flew was MH417 and I believe there was (or still is?) a discussion whether Mouchotte or Magrot was the pilot of this a/c.
Mouchotte evidently went down over sea (he washed ashore at Middelkerke, Belgium), while Magrot came down at Houdain, still some 80 kms from Calais.
Aside from the (un)settled MH417 pilot question, what is the identity of the second Spitfire?
Regards,
Leendert
