Re: Digby Cotes-Preedy 236 Sqn 1940
Sgt Colin Chrystall #614569 is one of my pre May 1940 Bale-outs. He was a the air gunner of Bristol Blenheim L1452 that crashed at Gainsborough, Lincs killing Flt/Lt Percy Don Walker # 36115 and AC2 /Flt. Mech Benjamin France #620302. It appears that Walker and Chrystall were detached from 23 Sqn to 229 Sqn to get 229 operational
However, all indications I have is that Chrystall went from 23 Sqn to 235 Sqn not 236 Sqn and it was in 235 Sqn in July 1940
Bristol Blenheim the Complete History miss-id's France as 'Francis'
