Brian I have just found a duplicate entry in Ray's book in that it says

Hurricane 1 / Trop W9359, 806 NAS - Sidi Haneish, FL in desert on 23rd November 1941 after combat with Bf109s during a sweep over El Aden. S/Lt KG Talbot was rescued by retreating troops, returned to unit 2 days later on 25th November. And yet he was supposed to be in Z4698- unless there was a KG and KC Talbot on the Sqn at the same time?

BTW - other losses for 23rd November 1941;

Hurricane 1 / Trop V7308 'C' - S/Lt AJC Willis FTR from fighter sweep and KIA
Hurricane 1 / Trop Z4698 'G' - Port u/c collapsed at LG 130 Cat R (S/L KC Talbot again!)
