Re: Fairey Battle crash in Channel
Most likely to be a 142 Squadron plane lost on the raid - post BofF -noted in this thread. Photos of this plane of German and French origin regularly crop up and the codes are definitely Q[T] - L, the T not visible and serial number never seen. Up beach shots give a background that is, I understand, consistent with Boulogne. I have no idea which of the two Battles lost it might be & have not researched it.
Of course can't be sure if it is that plane without seeing your photo.
Kind regards
Iain
