Re: Operation Countenance - Iran - August 1941
Just before kick-off in the football match Belgium-Italy: if the hapless Vincent pilot who was reportedly shot down by own fire was P/O Frank Woolley, then he has a (for me) unexpected "Belgian" connection. He was CO of 350 (Belgian) Squadron from 27/2/45-15/4/45...
I read on a medal website that his shoot down was on 26/8/41 and that he was rescued by troops of the (13th?) Lancers, 10 miles S. of Ahwaz.
Regards,
Leenderty
