Re: F/O P.E. BARNES 212 Sqn June 1940

Bonjour,

Brian: May I ask you your source because I don't have this name in my record, but a Spitifire from No. 212 Squadron did crash land badly at Rheims aerodrome on June the 8th 1940. I don't know the pilot...:
"A Spitfire of 212 sqn has forced landed at Reims-Champagne with a seized engine and must be salved at once"
She was destroyed on site...:
"Essential equipment has been salved, and the aeroplane will be destroyed"


Bye
