Re: Cobber Kain shoot down March 26, 1940 Hurricane ID
I have now had visibility of AIR/104 includes a Personal Combat Report for F/O Kain for his shoot down and bale out of P2543 on 26/3/1940
he was flying at 13:30 hours on patrol as Green I in a Flight with P/O Perry (Green II) and Sgt Pyne (Green III) in 'his Flight ordered on patrol'
He was shot down at 14:30 and baled out and landed at Ritzing alongside at Wood, his aircraft crashed approx. 3 Mile NW of Evendorff and was burnt out
A Casualty form included confirms Hurricane serial as P2543
P/O Perry is
P/O James Garland Perry #40424 73 Sqn Killed 29/03/1940 aged 22
Sgt Pyne is
Sgt Thomas Basil George Pyne #565921 73 Sqn Killed 14/05/1940 aged 24
I now suspect Orton was NOT flying on same mission as probably in another Flight
