Re: Loss of Dornier at Falmouth 10 Oct 1940
To be going SW over Falmouth would be to be heading for the Atlantic! There was no Predannack airfield on the Lizard at this time. St Eval was the only operational RAF airfield in Cornwall in Oct 1940.
234 Sqn were the fighter squadron tasked with the defence of Cornwall. They were based at St Eval. Their ORB for the 10th Oct simply says "Six aircraft on three interception scrambles."
