Re: Amiot 143M in Croatian Air force
Hello Jerome,
L. Malovec passed away on March 17, 1986 and J.R. Irving passed on April 24, 1997. I can not confirm the type of aircraft flown but Czech sources repeatedly claim that they were flying MODERN bomber (Amiot 351/354?).
For your information there was second Czech crew flying Marcel Bloch BM210 from Agen the very same day to England. The crew K. Schor, F. Petr, B. Baumruk and F. Kracmer, all pilots from GB II/21 crashlanded near Darthmouth. All were later flying with RAF, with B. Baumruk and F. Kracmer being killed flying Wellington bombers on operations. F. Petr survived the war as POW and K. Schor survived two tours of operations. F. Petr died in 2002, K. Schor in 1986.
Regards David
