Re: Blenheim 57 Sqn L9249 March 15, 1940
Crew details for 57 Sqn L9249 March 15, 1940 now confirmed
F/O William Ward Adam #39838 (Pilt) Killed
AC1 Frederick John Mantle #621138 (WOp./Air Gnr.) killed
Sgt Alec John Park slightly injured #580553 baled out - Initials and surname on 1940 Irvin Parachute List
PS Found reference to 'G' Park is BoFtaN Page 150 - which needs updating
PPS I had tentatively ID A J Park as Flight Sergeant Alec John Park Park from notes below, but good to get confirmation via two separate sources
"Long Service Medal and Good Conduct Medal Flight Feb 27th 1941 - Flight Sergeant Alec John Park #580553 killed 21/10/1941 aged 21c - 82 Sqn. Flt Sgt Park was in a Blenheim on an anti-shipping mission. Two Blenheims of 82 Squadron were shot down by Me109s whilst they were on an anti-shipping raid. Park was in V5634 UX-A.
