Re: Wing Commanders in the Battle of Britain
Hi Brian
According to Basil Embry himself in "Mission Completed" he took over the Wittering sector in December 1940, when his Nightfighter Wing at Rochford was disbanded (this was composed of 264 (Defiant) and 151 (Hurricane) Squadrons), which he had taken over in October 1940 - so when he became OC of this Nightfighter Wing the BoB was already virtually over, and 25 Squadron was in the Wittering Sector, using Beaufighters, so, by his own admission he could not have flown with 25 Squadron in the BoB?
cheers
Allan
