Hi,
i add the time when the battle begins:
Sunday 19 May 1940. Hurricanes from 17 and 607 Squadrons, including that of
Morley Fidler, were patrolling the skies above Cambrai. At 1600 hours they
encountered a Dornier bomber with an escort of Messerschmitts. In the ensuing
air battle, Morley Fidler was shot in the head and baled out.
Unable to open his parachute, Morley Fidler fell into a field on the outskirts of
Bachy. His body was hastily buried where he fell, by a party of passing British
soldiers. His Hurricane aircraft crashed some distance away.
